Frequently Asked Questions
When should I fertilise horse paddocks?
Fertilising is essential for making sure that a horse is getting all of the nutrients it needs from the grass it is grazing. At ProGreen, we provide recommended treatment plans in the product descriptions of some of our Amvista fertilisers. An example of a plan is for our Amvista Tiger Boost you would need to apply 2 bags per acre from mid-March to mid-May, 2 bags per acre from mid-May to mid-June and 1 bag per acre in mid-September.
Are these fertilisers suitable for crops as well as paddocks?
Yes. Many of the fertilisers in this range are suitable for use on crops as well as grazing land. They are designed to support balanced growth, improve soil condition and deliver essential nutrients across a wide range of agricultural applications.
Is it safe to fertilise a paddock with horses?
You are able to fertilise paddocks that usually have horses grazing on it, however it is important that you remove the horses from the treated field for 14 days or until the fertiliser prills have fully dissolved into the soil before you reintroduce them to the field.
How much liquid fertiliser should I apply?
The application rate depends on the fertiliser's nutrient content, the soil's nutrient deficiencies, and the land's nutrient requirements. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations or seek advice from an agricultural advisor. Soil testing results will guide amounts.
