Spraying the greens

Over the last two days the greens have been sprayed with wetting agent and a mixture of seaweed extract, iron and a small amount of nitrogen.  The wetting agent helps us to manage the water in the soil so that it is evenly distributed throughout the soil profile.  It helps the soil to dry evenly and reduces the amount of irrigation water required in drought conditions.  The seaweed, iron and nitrogen act more as a tonic than a fertiliser,  We apply between 1Kg and  2Kg/Ha of nitrogen to the greens, these rates are very low and encourage gentle growth rather than a strong flush.

We use a green dye to help us to spray accurately and efficiently - not to create that Augusta look!  The dye will fade in a few days.
