The apparatus includes: a primary inlet that receives water from a primary source and is connected to a mixing pipe； a 5 venturi shearing nozzle located in the mixing pipe； a secondary inlet that receives fertiliser formulation from a reservoir and that is in fluid connection with a low pressure region of the venturi shearing nozzle, such that fertiliser formulation is drawn into the mixing pipe by a venturi effect； and an outlet in fluid connection with an irrigation system. 10 2447983vl1 18 10 14 1612 2 201 121 FIG 1 22 18 14 30 16 32, 20 12 22 FIG 2
