What is Top Dressing Grade Fertiliser?
Generally top dressing grade fertiliser is granular fertiliser that is suitable for broad cast spreading using a belt spreader.
Given belt spreaders are more forgiving on particle size distribution, Pacific Fertiliser have developed a cheaper fertiliser product suitable for Top dressing.
Pacific Fertiliser can take second grade fertiliser (lumpy fertiliser, fertiliser sweepings) and re-process them into a more uniform product suitable for belt spreading.
The top dressing grade fertiliser products are mainly 2-5mm granules but do contain some fines (but there are no large lumps present).
Given the price is cheaper than conventional 98-100% granular fertiliser it can create decent savings on input costs, if you can broadcast apply your fertiliser for pasture and cropping applications.
