MAYFIELD KNAPSACK POLY BAG GRANULE APPLICATOR – DOUBLE ROW
The Mayfield Knapsack Granule Fertilizer Applicator is an ergonomically designed product that economically and accurately applies fertilizer uniformly to any row crop. This allows for maximising the use of labour and optimising the fertilizer potential, thus ensuring improved crop quality and yield.
The product consists of a knapsack, designed to carry up to 25 kilograms of fertilizer. The durbale, moulded rigid plastic casing is virtually unbreakable. At the base of the knapsack is an outlet to the hose system which is attached to the calibration nozzle, where the fertilizer dribbles out at a predetermined rate along the row.
Constant and uniformed walking pace must be maintained for accuracy of application. At the end of each row the hose and calibration nozzle are raised to stop the flow of fertilizer.
Mayfield Enterprises is a supplier of high quality, fully portable fertilizer and nematicide applicators and dispensers. Here are a number of reasons why our products have been so successful:
This is becoming a major consideration in agriculture where repeated traffic of mechanical implements leads to soil compaction resulting in poorer crop productivity. Manual application assists in alleviating this situation.
The ability to be used in steep areas. The Mayfield products can be used in steep areas e.g. where the terrain is such that mechanical application is impossible due to the gradient of the land.
Product Versatility
Mayfield attachment options are interchangeable with the various knapsacks.
