Ruakura-trial

Most farmers would have liked to have seen this data when the trial was done back then.    10 litres per Ha per year of a liquid fertiliser was never going to be enough to compete fairly with 1220 kgs per Ha of a super-phosphate potash mix.($292.00 per Ha) Now days Clovertone is applied at 20 litres per Ha and getting far better results.  The purpose of showing you this trial data is to highlight the fact that by combining a liquid with a solid fertiliser the results were much better than just the solid applications. One wonders what the result would have been had they applied the liquid at a dollar for dollar comparison with the solid.($292.00 per Ha would have meant a liquid application of 66 litres per Ha per year)
