Pacific Fertiliser offers a screened gypsum from Sydney, Brisbane and Cowra suitable for horticulture, vegetable and nut growers where a guaranteed size of the natural gypsum is required.
The product is very high quality and can be supplied throughout the year from all three plants.
General supply is in bulk tippers but we can also supply bulk bags and 25 kg bags.
Pacific Fertiliser releases a new prilled product of 95% Gypsum and 5% Magnesium.
This product is a great source of calcium, sulphur and magnesium.
The 2 – 4mm prilled product increases flowability, bulk density and minimises dust during handling and spreading
General Product Specifications:
• Calcium Ca – 21+%
• Sulphur S – 17.4+%
• Magnesium MG – 0.5+%
• Gypsum Purity CaSO4 2H2O – 85+%
• Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate – 4.9+ %
• Free Moisture – < 0.3 %
• Packaging – Available in 1 tonne bulk bags or pallets of 40x 25kg bags
The benefits of GYP-MAG include
• Increase movable calcium, sulfur, and magnesium ions in soil
• Promote Nitrogen Fixation and increase the efficient use of nitrogen in plant roots
• Support Chlorophylls formation and photosynthesis
• Strengthen the nutrient balance between calcium and other micronutrients
• Correct soil surface crusting. This will enable good water penetration and improve the water and air movement in the soil.
• Help soil for easy and rapid plowing
• Enhance the development of soil organic matter
• Maintain good soil moisture management
• Buffer to appropriate soil pH
• Increase the efficiency of water and nutrient absorption in plant
• Reduce water runoff and soil erosion
• Prevent diseases which affect stem root, fruit rots, crack stem and fruit diseases
• Easily applied by granular mixing and hand or machine spreading, solely or together with any primary fertilizer
RPR-GYP is a blend of both Pacific Fertiliser’s RPR2 Phosphate Rock and sub 2mm Mined Gypsum products, that provide an organic alternative to ordinary “super”.
Unlike conventional acidified fertilisers, RPR-GYP provides a slow release source of plant-available phosphate, as well as calcium and sulphur needed for plant growth and healthy
soils.
All the products used in RPR-GYP are mined in Australia and are of the highest quality, ensuring you get a superior result, whilst supporting a local business.
General Specifications 80/20:
• Total P – 7.2%
• Calcium – 22.3%
• Sulphur – 4.5%
We can do any blend ratio and also add in elemental sulphur to increase the dissolution of the RPR and the sulphur content.
DPI NSW Research in 2006
In conventional broad acre agriculture, plant available soil phosphorous (P) is usually maintained with P fertiliser like superphosphate. In similar organic agricultural systems such fertilisers are unacceptable inputs so P is often deficient for crop and pasture production on organic farms. A survey of organic farms in south-eastern Australia in 2005 reported available soil phosphate (Olsen P) levels that were frequently less than 6mgP/kg which indicated deficiencies. Improved P management, including developing a fertiliser that would suit organic farming regulations, is required to sustain and increase production on these farms. Reactive rock phosphate (RPR) and elemental sulphur (S) are natural products, suitable for organic use.
Field and pot experiments were done to measure the impact of ground RPR and co-treatment of RPR with finely ground S, on available soil phosphate, plant dry matter and P concentration. Under dryland farming conditions in this region of southern Australia (<600 mm rainfall, soil organic carbon <3%), co-treatment of RPR with S was necessary to increase Olsen P. The higher values of Olsen P were generally associated with increased plant dry matter, together with higher P concentration in the dry matter. The amount of S required was less the more acidic the soil, but greater than that reported as being effective in higher rainfall situations (>1000 mm) and higher soil organic carbon (11%).
It was deduced that the S is probably required to overcome the constraint on the dissolution of RPR resulting from frequent periods of low soil moisture. It was concluded that for the south-eastern cropping zone, co-treatment of ground-reactive rock phosphate with finely ground elemental S at rations (RPR:S) of at least 2:1, depending on soil pH, is required for effective use of RPR even in strongly acidic soils. It was recommended that organic farmers may recover soil P fertility by applying RPR+ fertiliser to their most acidic paddocks, postponing soil liming and managing the paddocks to conserve soil moisture.
