  • KMS Fertiliser

    KMS Fertiliser

    ORGANIC POTASSIUM FERTILISER – KMS Fertilizer is a soluble and highly bio-available form of Potassium, balanced with Magnesium and Sulphur. KMS nutrients are readily available and the product has a low chlorides content.

    KMS Fertiliser 0-0-20-16 + 7% Mg

    KMS dissolves slowly reducing leaching losses making it a highly effective during the growing period. The slow release rate also increases nutrient efficient fertiliser with good environmental performance.

    The KMS Fertiliser product is certified organic and is suitable to blend with other fertilisers, minerals and trace elements.

  • SOA FERTILISER – SOUTHERN GRADE

    SOA FERTILISER – SOUTHERN GRADE

    SOA SOUTHERN GRADE: The SOA product is a by product from the coke making process.  The product is a grey/white fertiliser around 1mm in size and has good levels of Nitrogen and Sulphur. If you can get away with crystalline powdery product and not granules you can apply a cheaper Southern Grade ammonia sulphate fertiliser through a standard fertiliser spreader. Where conditions exist for high nitrogen losses through volatilisation of Urea, SOA can be used more efficiently as its nitrogen is in the ammonium form.

    It is ideally suited for use in crops such as canola which have a high sulphur demand, and in grain crops and pastures. The sulphur is in the sulphate form, so it is immediately available to the plant making it ideal for use in annual cropping programs.

     

  • The Role of Elements in Plant Production

    The Role of Elements in Plant Production

    The role of NPKS and other elements in plant production are simply & briefly described below.

    Nitrogen (N)  is a key component in many of the processes needed to carry out growth. It plays a big part in crop yield. In particular, nitrogen is vital to chlorophyll, which allows plants to carry out photosynthesis.

    Phosphorus (P)  encourages the growth of roots and promotes blooming. It contributes to contributing to structural strength, crop quality and seed production.

    Potassium (K)  contributes to growth and development and plays a part in many plant characteristics like quality, size, shape, color, and even taste.

    Sulphur (S)  is an essential plant nutrient required by all crops for optimum production. Sulphur is required in the development of fertile canola flowers and must be present for good nodule development on legume forages such as alfalfa and pulse crop roots such as pea and faba bean.

    Calcium (Ca) in the form of calcium pectate, is responsible for holding together the cell walls of plants. When calcium is deficient, new tissue such as root tips, young leaves, and shoot tips often exhibit distorted growth from improper cell wall formation.

    Magnesium (Mg)  one of the magnesium’s well-known roles is in the photosynthesis process, as it is a building block of the Chlorophyll, which makes leaves appear green.

    Boron (B)  promotes early maturity. Affects flower set, fruiting quality, and yield. Necessary in conversion of carbohydrates into proteins. Boron affects root growth. It is essential for normal germination of pollen grains and the growth of pollen tubes.

    Copper (Cu)  is necessary in Chlorophyll formation and in photosynthesis and seed formation. Is a part of certain essential enzymes. Acts as a catalyst in certain carbohydrate and protein building reactions.

    Iron (Fe)  plays a major role in production of Chlorophyll. Involved in respiration of plants. Serves as a catalyst in cell division and growth processes.

    Manganese (Mn)  aids in Chlorophyll formation: serves as a catalyst in enzyme reactions such as breakdown of carbohydrates, and Nitrogen transformation.

    Molybdenum (Mo)  is necessary for module bacteria in fixing nitrogen from the air by legumes. Traces are needed to reduce Nitrate Nitrogen so that they can use Ammonium in protein formation.

    Zinc (Zn)  is needed in protein formation. Influences consumption of sugar in the plant. Necessary for many enzyme reactions in plant, including the one forming one of the plant hormones.

    Pacific Fertiliser refine a dolomite mineral resource located near Peak Crossing in SE QLD.

    The majority of the dolomite products are sold into the agricultural industry as a soil conditioner. Pacific Fertiliser supply dolomite in Fine, Super Fine, Ultra Fine and Granular grades from our Brisbane plant in bulk, bulkbags or pallets of 25kg bags.

    General specs for the fine dolomite are  Ca 12% , Mg 9%, NV 70%

    General specs for the super fine dolomite are  Ca 17% , Mg 11%, NV 109%

    General specs for the fine palygorskite are  Ca 16% , Mg 10%, NV 80%

    The dolomite deposit south of Peak Crossing is an elongated north-south deposit roughly 5km long and 1.5 km wide, forming the Limestone Ridges which encompasses the Moreton dolomite & Flinders dolomite resources. The Limestone ridges dolomite resource consist generally of dolomite, then usually it it underlain by basalt and then coal beneath that with reports on the geology and mineral quality of the area going back to 1914.

    The dolomite is typically white, massive, dense and extremely fine grained with a smooth fracture. The occurrence of palygorskite (attpulgite), montmorillonite and spiolite in the clay bands in the dolomite were described in a 1954 report.

  • TSRC Project

    TSRC Project

    Toowoomba Second Range Crossing Project

    The TSRC project requires a lot of gypsum, lime, dolomite and fertiliser to landscape and rehabilitate the country it is passing through. The construction of this major project is on a massive scale.

    The TSRC is a bypass route to the north of Toowoomba, approximately 41 kilometres in length, running from the Warrego Highway at Helidon in the east to the Gore Highway at Athol in the west via Charlton. At $1.6 billion, it is one of Queensland’s highest priority road infrastructure projects and is funded on an 80:20 basis by the Australian and Queensland Governments.
