Spraying is a good way of keeping on top of the weeds in your paddocks. It will result in more grazing areas, and provide healthy looking paddocks.
Weeds will grow each year, and as seeds fall to earth, they lie dormant awaiting an opportunity to grow. As weeds grow, they take all light and nutrient from surrounding soil, restricting grass growth.
Spraying out the weeds allows even grass growth, being visually pleasing as well as providing maximum grazing.
EQUISERVE uses a 75 litre mounted sprayer with 3 metre coverage, applying agricultural strength chemical. NPTC qualified and licensed, we can deliver a spray programme to suit your weed control requirements, while taking all necessary field assessments. Contact us for friendly advice with regards to spraying and applications required.
