When adding a fertiliser product to Gatekeeper, it is necessary to add the nutrient contents of the product. Once this has been done, nutrients applied can be automatically calculated from the amounts of product applied, or conversely amounts of fertiliser required can be calculated from nutrient figures.
To add analysis to an existing fertiliser:
From the main Gatekeeper screen, go to Setup > Products (Business)
Navigate the list on the left through Variable Costs > Nutrition > Fertiliser and click on the fertiliser name
Click on the ‘Nutrition’ subtab
Click ‘Add Item’
Select the nutrient required (e.g., N)
Enter the nutrient content of the fertiliser (e.g, 34)
If required, click ‘Add Item’ again and repeat to add the next nutrient. It’s not necessary to add nutrients with a 0 analysis – for example, for 0:24:24, just add P2O5 and K2O.
This information must be entered if you will be using the nutrient management centre.
