The event will also feature a live demonstration with a sprayer, showcasing the practical application of liquid fertiliser solutions. Quinns spray specialist Clive Cole will guide attendees through the selection of nozzle options for liquid fertiliser application.
The event will conclude with refreshments and a raffle offering prizes worth more than €1,000 to lucky winners.
