Avocado Tree Blends
We can supply standard fetililiser blends and organic fertiliser blends for avocado tree crops to northern NSW and Southern QLD growers.
Blend 1 – NPKS + TE blend – 10-4-13-10 + 4% Ca + 2.7% 5Mg +TE’s including Boron & Zinc (an avocado fert mix using Nitrophoska as the base)
Blend 2 – NPKS + TE blend – 12-4-15-7 + 1.5% Ca + 5% Mg + 0.2% B + 0.7% Zn + 0.64% Mn
Blend 3 – NPKS + TE blend – 11-5-12-6 + 5% Ca + 0.2% Mg + 1% B + 1% Zn + 0.03% Mn. A mix of synthetic compounds & organic minerals, blended with a unique nutrient activator and soil catalyst. This unique balance of natural minerals sourced ensures that the soils nutrient bank is complete for vibrant growth of crops. The added benefits of Natural Carbons and Humic acids not only give energy but nutrient holding capacity. Minerals, Soluble Nutrients and Organic Carbon combine in a synergistic effect to often allow for the reduction of salt based fertilisers.
Using products similar to below we have supplied numerous large growers with sustainable products for their tree crops in both powder and granulated blends:
- Soft Rock Phosphate
- Lime
- Gypsum
- Dolomite
- Silica
- Organibor
- Sulphur
- Zinc
- Many more organic inputs

Global Fertiliser Prices
Australian fertiliser prices have jumped over the last six months but are still relatively flat leading into the winter cropping season due to a lack of widespread rain. Single Super (SSP) prices are strong due to big demand from livestock producers seeing good conditions such as the strong wool price. Generally fertiliser prices are trending at average prices compared to the last decade.
The Global Fertiliser Price Trends:
Urea prices have been a bit volatile over the last 6mths but it has climbed ~16% over the last 6mths with more volatility predicted
MAP/DAP are up ~20% over the last 6mths
Rock Phosphate has been flat on the global markets
Potassium chloride has risen 4%
The global price leap has partly come about from closure of US Fertiliser giant Mosaic’s 53-year-old 2 million tonnes a year, Plant City facility in Florida, which suddenly reduced global volumes.

Earthing Compounds
Pacific Fertiliser supply a full range of earthing compounds products used for earth electrode back-filling to help lower soil resistivity. These products such as the bentonite gypsum earthing compounds provide a thermally stable high conductivity filling compound to provide long term low ground resistance when backfilling cable trenches containing copper electrodes/earth rods.
Earthing compounds absorb moisture from the surrounding soils reducing the contact resistance and in turn effectively increasing the size of the copper earth rods installed and buried in the cable trench. By reducing the earth resistance of the earth rod or electrode through the moisture retention process the Bentonite compound can also reduce and protect it against corrosion.
Available in bulk, bulkbags and 25kg bags.

Organibor
Organibor is designed to be applied once every 1-3 years depending on the crop, climatic and soil conditions, and will continually release boron over that period of time so the plants, vines or trees will have a continual supply of boron right through all of their growing phases. The effect on the tree is the same as if it was grown in boron rich soils.
Organibor is a naturally occurring form of CaO MgO.3B2O3.6H2O, certified for organic use, magnesium/calcium borate that replenishes the boron levels in the soil in a controlled and natural way.
The product looks like a whitish chip 95% between 2-4mm, boron >10%, MgO 4.6% – 6.2% and available in bulkbags or pallets of 25kg bags. Organibor has an Organic Certification BFA as an allowed input 10982A.
We an also do a 50/50 boron blend of Granubor and Organibor – which provides a fast and slow release of boron into your crop/soil (blend 12% B, 8% Ca, 0.6% Mg)
Application Rates
Organibor is a controlled release fertiliser designed to release over several years, so the timing of application is not as critical, however, mid winter to late spring is the preferred time of application for most annual crops. Below is a guide to the expected application rates for selected crops.
Apples 30kg – 70kg per ha
Grapes 30kg – 70kg per ha
Avocados 30kg – 70kg per ha
Vegetable crops 30kg – 70kg per haBoron is one of the essential trace elements that every plant relies on and is well known to be a valuable resource ensuring a plant’s healthy leaf development, flowering, reproductive cycle and seed development.
Boron fertilisers generally come in the form of either sodium borate (highly soluble), calcium borate (extremely insoluble), or magnesium borate, which sits relatively in the middle. Growers using sodium borate face two key problems;
1. Boron that is not taken up by plants leaches away or
2. too much boron is released and taken up by the plant causing boron toxicity.Unlike sodium borates, Organibor can be applied to crops and pasture just once every 12 to 24 months depending on desired outcomes, soil and climate conditions.
The calcium/magnesium borate chip releases boron at a similar rate to which most plants take up boron from the soil, therefore eliminating the risk of boron toxicity or creating boron-deficient environments.

Phosphate Sulphur Blends
Super Sulphur blends are commonly used in pasture maintenance where topdressings are infrequent. It is also used where the requirement for S can be higher than the need for Phosphorous.
Below are a few Sulphur Super blends using single, double and triple super fertilisers.
Single Super Sulphur S26 (0-7-0-26)
Single Super Sulphur S42 (0-5-0-42)
Double Super Sulphur S22 (0-13-0-22)
Double Super Sulphur S26 (0-12-0-26)
Triple Plus Sulphur S22 (0-15-0-22)
Triple Plus Sulphur S26 (0-14-0-26)

Double Super Benefits
Freight, storage & spreading costs are not getting any cheaper, so the transition to higher analysis fertiliser like Double Super (DSP) or Triple Super makes sense.
The higher phosphorus analysis of Pasture King fertiliser can provide you with a cheaper landed (or spread cost) per unit of phosphorous (P). Allowing you can purchase, transport, store and spread less product.
We also offer various blend ratios of sulphur in the Pasture King range.
– Pasture King S9: (0-15-0-9), P:S ratio = 1.7:1
– Pasture King S13: (0-14-0-13), P:S ratio = 1:1
– Pasture King S17: (0-13-0-17), P:S ratio = 0.8:1 (same as single super)Example of potential cost saving from using high analysis phosphate fertiliser:
70t Pasture King Fertiliser contains the same amount of phosphate as 125t Single Super (SSP).
(70t Pasture King (0-16-0-5) contains [70 x (15.7/ 100)] = 11t phosphorus (P);
and
125t SSP (0-9-0-11) contains [125 x (8.8/100)] = 11t phosphorus (P).On top of allowing you to purchase less fertiliser, you could potentially reduce your handling and spreading costs by up to 56% by using the Pasture King fertiliser products.
