FertAg Key Benefits
30 reasons to use FertAG
- Soil loss through leaching is up to 22 times less than for soluble P sources
- Is suitable for use in organic agriculture
- Can be stored in open covered areas
- Easy to store, will not cake or solidify
- Will not corrode equipment when residues are left in place
- Is not harmful to animals, humans or plants
- Cannot be overdosed on plants
- Is safe to use around stock and graze in treated areas
- Flows evenly and rapidly when dry
- Easy to mix with other compatible fertilisers
- Easy to apply and spread and is also available in granular form for air seeders and aircraft spreading
- Contains a balance of P, Ca, Mg, and Si
- Is Acid soluble
- Is Water insoluble
- Is 95% citrate soluble
- Is 95% plant available
- Has the same neutralising value as Ag Lime.
- Release rates are mitigated by acidity, plant demand and moisture
- Soil loss through leaching is up to 22 times less than for soluble P sources
- Remains available in P fixing soils, resisting Al and Fe tie up
- Removes a proportion of Fe and Al ions from soil solution
- Form Al and Fe silicates that absorb nutrients and moisture
- Releases silicates to plants and the soil
- Silicates improve plant resistance to a range of insects and diseases
- Reduces metabolic nutrient deficiencies in animals with grass tetany or milk fever
- May change weed or pasture species spectrum
- Makes less palatable plants(non-toxic) more attractive to animals
- Will observe animals preferential grazing FertAg treated areas
- Increases and extends the grazing period in forage and pasture species
- FertAG will ‘flocculate’ make soils softer and easier to manage
- Reduces sodium content over time
Limitations
- Do not store with acidic materials
- Mixes of fertiliser should be applied ASAP and not stored
- Do not mix with Zn or Cu or any other Cationic material
- Seek appropriate advice when applying to soils in excess of 6.5 pH (water)
