By Scott Glyde, Director of Agribusiness at Converte In recent weeks, I’ve had conversations with several farmers who have consistently invested in traditional NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) programs. Despite pouring fertiliser onto paddocks, they’re not seeing the returns they’d expect. Sound familiar? This is where Liebig’s Law of the Minimum comes in—it tells us that plant growth […]
The use of scientifically formulated ‘stubble digests’ are providing an opportunity to revolutionise the management of post harvest stubble, bringing tangible benefits to soil health, nutrient cycling, and overall crop productivity. ‘Excelerate Stubble Digest’ is showing promising for breaking down stubble residues while enhancing soil microbial health. “Feedback from our farmers is that this product […]
Organic farming has seen a surge in recent years as farmers and consumers alike embrace more sustainable, environmentally friendly practices. Central to organic farming is the use of organic fertilisers, a critical tool that nourishes the soil, enhances plant health, and promotes a balanced ecosystem. This article explores what organic fertiliser is, its benefits, and […]
With the recent boom in sustainable farming, farmers are turning to biological plant food as a means to improve soil health, promote plant growth and minimize environmental impact. This natural, organic alternative to synthetic fertilisers has gained a lot of popularity for its ability to nourish plants while nurturing the soil and supporting a healthier […]
Healthy soil is the cornerstone of successful plant growth but over time, soil quality can degrade due to intensive farming, erosion, and climate changes. Soil conditioners offer an effective way to rejuvenate soil, enhancing its structure, nutrient content, and water-holding capacity. Here’s a deep dive into soil conditioners, how they work, and how growers can select […]
The Australian Federal Government recently announced grant awards as part of its $1.5 billion Modern Manufacturing Strategy. These grants were set up to help Australian businesses build or scale their capabilities towards a supply chain vulnerability for agricultural production chemicals. Phase 1 awards were announced earlier this month and were aimed at offering 27 projects […]
Trace Elements and Nutrient Efficiency: Is Your Fertiliser Program Working Hard Enough?
UncategorizedAre you really getting the most out of your fertiliser program? If you’ve noticed variation between paddocks or farms—even when the fertiliser strategy is the same—it might be time to dig a little deeper. In my last post we explored the role of trace elements in plant growth and the risks associated with ignoring micronutrients. […]
