  • Aerial Grade Gypsum

    Aerial Grade Gypsum

    Pacific Fertiliser’s aerial grade gypsum GranGyp24 is a granular 2-4mm product.

    The product provides minimal dust and very flowable properties, suitable for aerial applications.

    The gypsum used is of high quality providing good levels of sulphur and calcium.

    We can also do granule sizes of 1-2mm and 4-12mm.

    Note all the granulated gypsum products are not washed crystal gypsum so the solubility is good.

    PacFert can also provide aerial grade lime, phosphate, dolomite, carbon or blends for a one pass application.

  • Mangesium Blends

    Pacific Fertiliser can provide magnesium blended into your products providing a one pass solution to meet your soil requirements.

    Magnesium (Mg) deficiency can be detrimental plants.  Magnesium 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.

  • Reducing Soil Acidity

    Reducing Soil Acidity

    Dolomite and AG lime are the only natural products that will decrease your soils acidity thereby rectifying the problem. Dolomite is valued for its magnesium content and it is this, which distinguishes it from limestone. Dolomite and Ag lime (limestone) both neutralise soil acidity but only dolomite can correct magnesium deficiencies in the soil. Magnesium, like calcium is a plant nutrient.

    Over time the acidity of soil tends to increase. This is due to such varied sources as rainwater (containing dissolved carbon dioxide), pollution containing oxides, sulphur and nitrogen, using fertilizers rich in ammonia, plant roots exuding nitrogen ions, and the natural decomposition of organic matter. Substantial research has been done on the optimal pH range for various crops. Dolomite has long been used to lower the acidity and raise the pH of farmlands and grass lawns.

    Each time a field is farmed, whether it is for crop or pasture, the soil naturally increases in acidity. (pH 5.5 -strongly acidic – <4.5 extremely acidic). This acidity stops plants from absorbing the minerals required for growth and reduces the availability of naturally occurring nutrients to the crop. High rainfall areas have naturally acidic soils; however in some areas soil acidification can be a slow process resulting in a gradual and often unnoticed drop in production. Farmers should aim to feed the soil, not the plant, to create a soil that is balanced in nutrients, has good structure, high biological activity and high levels of organic matter. The soil pH should be constantly monitored and treated regularly with Lime or Dolomite.

  • Lime

    Lime

    Pacific Fertiliser sells many forms of Ag Lime (limestone) such as ground ag lime, prilled ag lime, fine ag lime and ultra fine ag lime. We also sell carbide lime, quick lime and hydrated lime.

    These products are available mainly from Brisbane, Sydney and Cowra, but we also have many region locations which enable us to offer competitive delivered rates.

  • BENEFITS OF PHOSPHATE ROCK APPLICATION

    BENEFITS OF PHOSPHATE ROCK APPLICATION

    BENEFITS OF DIRECT APPLICATION PHOSPHATE ROCK

    Organic farming is the fastest growing sector of the global economy. Australia is the largest organic producer globally with 12 million hectares under organic cultivation. Pacific Fertiliser’s organic phosphate fertiliser is environmentally and nutritionally superior to chemical fertilisers and can be used on a wide variety of crops and pastures.

    Organic fertilisers based on rock phosphate such as PacFerts’s products offer several advantages over chemically processed soluble fertilisers such as superphosphate.

    • Organic fertilisers slowly release nutrients into the soil matching the speed at which the nutrients are being absorbed by the plants.

    • Phosphate rock has the ability to restore microelemental and microbial soil balance which in turn leads to less reliance on artificial fertilisers and better crop yields.

    • Use of organic phosphate instead of chemically processed phosphate avoids the serious environmental degradation caused by increased concentrations of fertilisers in the ground water, the rivers and the coastal waters. Use of organic phosphate rock reduces the risk of harmful accumulation of nutrients in the soil and reduces soil salinity problems

    • Plants grown on organic phosphate rock fertiliser have a better nutritional quality.

    • Because of phosphate rock’s unique chemical composition, incorporation of phosphate rock into the soil enhances its biological activity and increases soil carbon (C) accumulation, leading to improved soil fertility and restoration of its physical and chemical properties.

    • Organic phosphate rock is a source of several nutrients other than P. Rock phosphates are usually applied to replenish soil P status, but phosphate rock also provides other nutrients not present in soluble fertilisers. Application of organic phosphate has a potential trigger effect on plant growth and crop yields as a result not only of phosphorus release but also because of phosphate rock’s effect on increasing exchangeable calcium (Ca) and reducing aluminium saturation.

    • Phosphate rocks for direct application can be more efficient than artificial fertilizers in terms of phosphorus (P) recovery by pants under certain conditions. Based on the unit cost of P, natural phosphate rock is usually the cheapest.

    • Phosphate rocks are natural minerals requiring no metallurgical processing. Their direct application avoids production of polluting wastes such as phosphor-gypsum and greenhouse gases, thus resulting in energy conservation and protein environment.

    Pacific Fertiliser also produces other organic compliant natural mineral fertilisers and soil conditioners.

    Note: Soft Rock Phosphate does not contain soluble phosphate, therefore the phosphate availability is a function of acid soil conditions and/or active soil biology, i.e. soft rock phosphate becomes available rapidly in acidic soils. In alkaline soils, it should be combined with REGYP compost, humates, microbial agents. Application rates are generally in the range of 500kg to 1500kg per hectare (Ha).

    These include:

    – Ag Lime (calcium source and pH adjustment)
    – Gypsum (source of calcium  and sulphur)
    – Soft Rock Phosphate (source phosphorous and calcium with some pH adjustment)
    – Dolomite (source of calcium and magnesium with pH adjustment)
    – Guano
    – Fish meal
    – RPR Reactive Phosphate Rock
    – Fishmeal
    – Sulphate of Potash (SOP)
    – Muriate of Potash (MOP)

    – Humates (brown coal fines)
    – Liquid fulvic and humic acid
    – Blends of the above products and trace elements

     

    PacFert does not have organic certification for its products, but because they are natural minerals mined from the ground they are deemed organic. Any processing by Pacific Fertiliser is to grind, classify or package the products for agricultural applications, which means the natural products are still suitable for organic applications/farms.

     

     

     

  • ULTRA-GYP

    Pacific Fertiliser releases ULTRA-GYP which is made from ultra fine mined gypsum. ULTRA-GYP can be suitable for  flocculation and aerial applications in industrial, agricultural and civil operations.

    The ground gypsum can be mixed with water and applied via irrigation, spread aerially, or added to dams for flocculation (to reduce water turbidity).

    It has a mean particle size of <35um making it an ultra fine grade gypsum.
