The South Island Agriculture Field Days was held in Kirwee from the 29^th – 31^st of March. Despite the mud, the sun was shining and 30,000 people attended the event which is held every second year in Kirwee, Canterbury.

We were promoting the Rural Liquid Fertiliser’s Plasma Fusion and Pasture Foliar alongside Power N39; a highly-concentrated nitrogen in liquid form.

We set up our own trial on site, taking advantage on the grass that was growing there. On the 17^th of March, we applied using RLF Pasture Foliar (3L/ha), Power N39 (Concentrated Nitrogen in Liquid form; 20L/ha) and GALA (Gibberellic acid; 80ml/ha) to a section of the plot and left it to grow for the next 10 days. The results were incredible – after just 10 days an extra 210kgdm was grown, which equates to a massive 375% increase in grass grown.

Other products we had on display were:

GreenMan™: our new green, non-selective, bio-herbicide GreenMan™. It is canola based, low hazard, bio-degradable and proving to be a more effective herbicide with longer kills and much lower applications.

Dust Solve: a unique dust suppressant that is used to reduce the creation of dust, from the disturbance by wind, vehicles or stock. It is made from New Zealand, food grade canola and is non-polluting, readily bio-degradable and easily diluted with water.

The SIAFD were a great success and we had a great response from local farmers and members of the public.
