Mayfield Enterprises is
a supplier of high quality, fully portable fertilizer and nematicide
applicators and dispensers. Here are a number of reasons why our
products have been so successful:
Cost effective
Low operating costs, particularly in developing countries where
labour is more cost effective than mechanical application. The
Mayfield products are the most competitive in the market for manual
fertilizer application, which allows for maximizing the productivity
of labour.
Uniform Application
Hand application methods are generally inaccurate and not uniform in
application. The Mayfield products considerably reduce human error
and allows for the uniform and accurate application of fertilizer.
This in turn reduces management and supervision of manual
application and ensures improved returns through better crop
production and yields.
Soil Compaction
This is becoming a major consideration in agriculture where repeated
traffic of mechanical implements leads to soil compaction resulting
in poorer crop productivity. Manual application assists in
alleviating this situation.
Inaccessibility
Lands become saturated and impassable by mechanical means due to
heavy rains, or where crop height precludes mechanical application.
The Mayfield products are not constrained by any of these factors
and can play a critical role in fertilization where mechanical
application is impossible or impractical. This gives rise to our
slogan: "Where you can walk you can use a Mayfield"
Low Depreciation
A minimal investment in durable products made from tough, rust
resistant materials, resulting in low depreciation with maximum
return on the investment.
Terrain
The ability to be used in steep areas. The Mayfield products can be
used in steep areas e.g. where the terrain is such that mechanical
application is impossible due to the gradient of the land.
Product Versatility
Mayfield attachment options are interchangeable with the various
knapsacks.
