Mine sites & tailings dams are degraded lands that present relatively hostile site conditions that require a detailed understanding of plant-soil water-environmental interactions to achieve successful rehabilitation. Areas of disturbed mining land are rehabilitated each year by professional consultants and contractors generally by applying imported soil cover, soil amelioration products, mulch/manures, landscaping and planting the
Incompatible fertiliser ingredients should not be mixed together. Examples like above highlighted with red/orange boxes include: • Urea and ammonium nitrate-based fertilisers such as NPKS Compound Examples of ingredients that may have Limited Compatibility together in blends are: Urea Magnesium Oxide ; Zinc Sulfate Mono ; Copper Oxysulfate DAP SuPerfect ; Magnesium Oxide SuPerfect
Fertiliser Spreading Conversion Tables Appendix A contains conversion tables for fertiliser application rates, weights, and areas. Table 1 - Fertiliser application rate conversions kg/ha kg/acre cwt*/acre Small bag/ha Small bag/acre 50 20 1 0.4 100 40 2 0.8 125 50 1 2.5 1 150 60 3 1.2 175 70 3.5 1.4 200 81 4 1.6 225 90
Single Super Fertiliser (SSP) used to be generally spread at a hundred weigh per acre (CWT) on pastures. The following helps you convert these imperial fertiliser application rates into metric and compare other various phosphate fertilisers. 1 CWT/acre = 125kg/ac of Single (~309kg/ha) Equivalent phosphorous application rates (125kg/ha) using other available phosphate fertilisers: Double
FERTILISER DENSITY AND SIZING Pacific Fertiliser manufactures and imports fertilisers, from various suppliers. Typical density and sizing data for the more commonly used products are shown in the following table. The fertiliser product bulk densities and specifications can vary between manufacturers/suppliers and over time, and consequently may differ from the table below. Before spreading
We are spreading a single super equivalent blend today. The aerial grade fertiliser blend consists of soft rock phosphate, sulphur, boron and liquid biology. You can see the biology working on the granules from the mould present before spreading. https://pacificfertiliser.com/tablelands-pastoral-blends/4081/
Fertiliser prices are at a 10 year low after weak global demand and surplus global stock. Despite high demand for fertiliser locally and a low Australian Dollar the prices of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertiliser remain low compared to previous years. Urea prices have slipped by around $60/t compared to other winter sowing seasons where
Big Ships & Big Hoppers as another self discharging ship rolls into port.
There is a shortage of MAP and DAP fertiliser on the east coast as growers sow winter grain crops. More shipments are due to arrive in late May.
