Liquid Fertilizer Applicators For Sale in Canada

About Liquid Fertilizer Applicators

When it comes to applying nutrients to crops, growers have a number of options including dry, anhydrous, and liquid application, depending on the crop and the timing of the application. Liquid and anhydrous applicators use coulter systems, knives, and injectors along with tanks, pumps, hoses, agitation systems, and other parts to inject liquid-based nutrients directly into the soil, whereas dry applicators use hoppers and wagons, augers, and other components to broadcast granular fertilizer across the ground via spreader unit or boom.

Unverferth NutriMax 2600 Liquid Fertilizer Applicator

The Liquid Advantage

Opinions vary about which applicator type is best; liquid applicators may provide more uniform application, due to the seeping and spreading nature of liquid fertilizer, which can result in faster-acting nutrients that are more readily available to your crops. Liquid-based foliar applications can be effective even more quickly but may also provide a shorter window of effectiveness. You’ll also find liquid fertilizer applicators that support single-pass use for multiple products, helping improve efficiency by saving time in the field, fuel, and other costs, and promoting immediate seed exposure to nutrients.

Common Features & Specifications

Liquid applicator features may include everything from quick-fill lids to sump-related tank designs that help maintain consistent application on side hills. Other features that enhance performance and simplify operation include tanks centred over the axle, adjustable downward force pressure, and the use of rate control and guidance technologies.

Blu-Jet’s popular AT4610 applicator, for example, provides 544 kilograms (1,200 pounds) of downward pressure plus 30 degrees of swivel to help follow ground contours closely. Unverferth’s NutriMax 2600, meanwhile, has a hydraulic-based wing tilt feature to help limit crop damage at end rows. The NutriMax also supports a dual-delivery system that can simultaneously inject fertilizer in the centre of the row and to the side.
