Vernado is helping farmers across New Zealand achieve better yields and healthier crops by giving themwhat they require when they require it through its advanced products and customised solutions. "Liquid nitrogen, for example, o ers faster nutrient uptake, which is crucial during various growth stages.

Liquid fert can be applied through irrigation, in-furrow or as a foliar spray, allowing for accurate nutrient delivery to the plants' roots or leaves. This precision is particularly valuable in situations where nutrient application must be tightly controlled out of season or adjusted quickly. Because Vernado o ers custom blends foliar fertiliser mixes can include growth regulators such as gibberellic acid (GA3) and triacontanol (TA) for additional bene its. "Adding gibberellic acid to our Liquid N can stimulate pasture growth through mobilisation of plant energy reserves, resulting in leaf and stem elongation," says Nathan. "Triacontanol o ers a multitude of bene its for plant growth and development by enhancing photosynthesis, promoting growth, and improving stress resistance. Using liquid N combined with GA3 and TA our customers have reported improved Vernado Advanced Foliar Fertilizers Benefit Farmers crop quality, increased yields and even better the lowest cost feed when they require it the most.” Vernado supplies direct to farmers or to contractors such as Farm Chemical Supplies.
