The Best Tools to Apply Liquid Fertilizer Without Wasting It

UPDATE IN : 27.SEP.2025

Applying liquid fertilizer effectively is more important than ever for farmers and home growers. With rising input costs and growing demand for sustainable practices, maximizing nutrient uptake while minimizing waste can make the difference between average and exceptional yields.

In this updated guide, we’ll explore the best modern tools for applying liquid fertilizers, highlight common mistakes to avoid, and show you how Yarafert’s advanced solutions give your crops the competitive edge they need.


Hose-End Sprayers vs. Watering Cans: Which Should You Use?

Your choice of application tool impacts coverage, accuracy, and ease of use.

? Hose-End Sprayers

  • Attach to a garden hose for even dilution and coverage
  • Best for lawns, orchards, and larger gardens
  • Adjustable dials for controlling concentration
  • Work perfectly with Yarafert Biofast (gel formulation) and Sulphomin for consistent flow

? Watering Cans

  • Allow precise spot treatment for potted plants and raised beds
  • Easy to hand-mix fertilizers before application
  • Ideal for root-level feeding with Yarafert Ugarit 10-0-5+ Organic or Ugarit DKP

Pro tip: Use hose-end sprayers for large-scale efficiency, but keep a watering can handy for delicate flowers and container plants.


Tools to Measure Fertilizer Accurately

Even premium fertilizers need correct dosing. Overfeeding wastes product and harms plants, while underfeeding limits results.

Use these tools to apply Ugarit Strawberry or Ugarit 10-10-40 + TE precisely:

  • Graduated Measuring Cups – match exact milliliter/ounce requirements
  • Syringes & Pipettes – excellent for small batches, hydroponics, or seedling care
  • Digital Scales – best for concentrated products like Yarafert Phosphoric Acid 85%

? Following label recommendations ensures that blends like Super DKP deliver maximum efficiency.


Drip Irrigation Attachments for Even Distribution

Drip systems aren’t just for water—they’re perfect for fertigation. Modern drip attachments ensure steady micro-dosing of nutrients right at the root zone.

Advantages

  • Prevent nutrient spikes
  • Reduce evaporation and runoff
  • Deliver continuous feeding for optimal absorption
