AGRICULTURAL MINERALS
Powder, Granular, Aerial & Solution Grade Minerals
MINED GYPSUM
Pacific Fertiliser sells premium natural mined gypsum products that are extracted from the best gypsum mines in Australia. Gypsum is an excellent source of both Calcium and Sulphur – essential for both yield and grain quality, but its benefits go much further. As a soil amendment it helps improve the physical properties of soil, such as water retention, permeability, water infiltration, drainage, aeration and structure providing a better environment for the plant roots.
LIME
Pacific Fertiliser provides various lime products to the agricultural and civil operators throughout NSW and QLD. PacFert’s Agricultural Lime (Ag Lime) is a premium natural limestone product which can be used for numerous applications from agricultural cropping, industrial uses and civil works. Ag Lime is a soil additive made from pulverised limestone. Its main use in civil and agricultural applications is to neutralise acid sulphate soils and stabilise clay soils.
DOLOMITE
Dolomite is a is good source of calcium and magnesium for plants. It is naturally occurring rock containing calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate (CaCO3.MgCO3). Where both magnesium and lime are required, dolomite is often more cost-effective than applying magnesium and lime separately. We can also supply Kieserite (MgSO4·H2O Magnesium Sulphate), which is a fast effective source of both magnesium and sulphur.
PHOSPHATE ROCK
Soft Rock Phosphate (SRP) products are an excellent natural source of phosphorus, calcium and many essential trace elements including silica. The rock phosphate product is pre-digested, making it more soluble than other sources of phosphate rock and this form of P is readily available and does not lock up to other cations such as calcium. SRP Sustain blends can provide natural organic/sustainable alternatives to Single Super other phosphorous fertilisers. Available in powder or granular options.
GUANO
Guano is a natural di-calcium phosphate product comprised of biological combination of seabird droppings, decomposed seabirds, coral, kelp, fish and other sea life. The Guano products have good phosphorous and calcium contents with the added benefit of silica and trace elements. Through blends Guano gives a natural organic alternative to Single Super and PKS fertilisers. The 2-5mm granulated guano product is easy to handle and suitable for air-seeders.
BENTONITE
Benonite is a natural swelling clay of Sodium Bentonite suitable for use in construction, sealing dams and irrigation ditches. Civil engineering grade bentonite has for many years been used in diaphragm walls construction, tunneling and dam sealing. PacFert bentonite is inert except for a light alkalinity.It is harmless to the human digestive system and can be dried & re-swelled an infinite number of times.
MAGNESIUM OXIDE
Is mainly used by PacFert in balanced fertililser blends as a slow release high grade magnesium source. Magnesium deficiency can be detrimental plants and Mg can be easily leached away in strongly acidic, light or sandy soils. While this is an essential element for all plants, these crops have been found to be especially responsive: alfalfa, blueberry, beet, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, clover, conifers, corn, cotton, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, onion, pepper, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, squash, tobacco, tomato, and watermelon.
MINERAL BLENDS
Pacific Fertiliser provides various mineral and trace element blends to the agricultural industry. We can manufacture custom blends of minerals, fertilisers, trace elements, biology, manure, humates and compost to match custom soil and agronomic requirements. These blends are available in powdered and granulated options.
