Key Features

  • Root-Zone Fertilizer Placement: Helps place granular fertilizer below the soil surface and closer to the intended crop root area.
  • 6-Inch Digging Depth: Designed for fertilizer placement up to approximately 6 inches (15.24 cm) into the soil.
  • 5 kg Fertilizer Box: Plastic hopper provides practical capacity for routine field fertilization between refills.
  • Powder-Coated Mild-Steel Body: Strong metal construction designed for repeated agricultural use.
  • Suitable for Granular Fertilizers: Designed for compatible free-flowing granular fertilizer formulations.
  • Manual Operation: Requires no petrol, diesel, electricity or battery.
  • Localized Application: Helps reduce unnecessary fertilizer spreading outside the intended application area.
  • Useful in Firm Soil Conditions: Designed to create an application point in the soil while placing fertilizer below the surface.
  • Low Operating Cost: Simple manual construction avoids fuel and electrical operating expenses.

Suitable Applications

  • Granular fertilizer application
  • Root-zone fertilizer placement
  • Side-dressing of established crops
  • Row crops
  • Vegetable cultivation
  • Cash crops
  • Fruit and orchard crops
  • Farms where targeted fertilizer application is preferred over broad surface spreading

How It Works

Fill the fertilizer box with a suitable free-flowing granular fertilizer and position the applicator near the required plant or application point.

The applicator penetrates the soil to the required depth and deposits fertilizer below the surface near the selected crop area. The operator then moves to the next application point and repeats the process according to the crop spacing and fertilizer recommendation being followed.

Why Use Localized Fertilizer Placement?

Localized fertilizer application places nutrients close to the crop or root zone rather than distributing them across the entire soil surface. This can help concentrate the fertilizer in the intended application area and reduce unnecessary spreading between plants.

It is particularly useful for crops where fertilizer is applied plant-wise, along rows or around established plants.

Suitable Crop Categories

  • Maize
  • Cotton
  • Sugarcane
  • Groundnut
  • Vegetable crops
  • Pulse crops
  • Orchard and fruit crops
  • Other crops suitable for localized granular fertilizer application

Operating Tips

  1. Use only suitable free-flowing granular fertilizer.
  2. Check that the fertilizer flow path is clear before beginning work.
  3. Position the applicator at the recommended distance from the plant or root zone.
  4. Apply fertilizer according to the crop-specific fertilizer recommendation.
  5. Avoid placing highly concentrated fertilizer directly against sensitive stems or roots unless recommended for that crop and fertilizer.
  6. Empty and clean the fertilizer box after use.

Care & Maintenance

  • Remove fertilizer residue after every use.
  • Keep the fertilizer box and flow mechanism clean and dry.
  • Clean soil from the digging mechanism after field operation.
  • Inspect moving parts and fasteners periodically.
  • Touch up damaged coating if exposed metal becomes visible.
  • Store the applicator in a dry location when not in use.

Important Note

Actual fertilizer quantity, placement distance and application depth should be selected according to the crop, soil condition, fertilizer type and agronomic recommendation being followed.

Apply granular fertilizer directly into the soil with this 5 kg Hard Soil Manual Fertilizer Applicator. Featuring a powder-coated mild-steel body, plastic fertilizer hopper and approximately 6-inch digging depth, it helps place fertilizer closer to the crop root zone instead of broadly scattering it across the soil surface. Requiring no fuel or electricity, this manual fertilizer punch is suitable for row crops, vegetables, cash crops and orchard applications where controlled granular fertilizer placement is required.
