Liquid vs Granular Fertiliser: What the Science Really Says
This lesson compares granular and liquid fertiliser using long-term New Zealand trial data. Dr Will Talbot, Scientific Officer, explains why nutrient form does not change pasture response and why efficient fertiliser use depends on applying the right nutrient, at the right rate, in the right place and at the right time. A clear, science-based guide to making practical fertiliser decisions.
