Spikey®
|
|
Spikey® is our flagship product which allows farmers to grow more pasture and reduce nitrate leaching. It treats nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions at the source, the urine patch, converting more nitrogen into pasture, leaching less to the environment.
A version we sell is the liquid Spikey® which utilises the target spraying of liquid fertiliser. This only sprays on inter-urine patches to allow for more precise application of fertiliser. |

A solid fertiliser version of Spikey® is also sold for those that prefer this method of fertiliser application. Powered by the same technology, it is able to treat urine patches with the same precision while also having a variable rate of fertilisation, ensuring it applies only the necessary amount.

A Future for Dairying Based on Science

Detect Urine Patches
Use the patented Spikey® technology to detect urine patches using the unique conductivity signatures of the urine patch, which the spikes detect.

Apply NitroStop™
NitroStop™ contains an inhibitor that is approved to be used and registered with a New Zealand regulator for the agriculture industry.

Capture Nitrogen And Reduce Leaching
Spikey® treatment has shown reductions of leaching from 10-20% at paddock scale and an increase in pasture of up to 25% compared to non-Spikey® treatment.
The current precise application of nitrogen to non-urine spots for Liquid Spikey®, has seen on average 10% of the paddock not having nitrogen applied which helps with managing the current nitrogen cap. |
