  • GRANULOCK

    GRANULOCK

    Give your crops and pastures the benefit of a precise nutrient treatment with Incitec’s Granulock Z.

    Granulock Z is a compound fertiliser, which means every granule contains the same ratio of nutrients with no chance of segregation during transport and spreading. This uniformity of nutrient distribution is particularly important for supplying maintenance rates of zinc evenly to crops at planting. With Granulock Z, you can effectively provide newly sown crops and pastures with the right combination of nutrients for strong early root growth, healthy emergence and even crop growth. Granulock Z can be blended to create specific nutrient ratios appropriate you your needs and soil test results.

    MAP (Monoammonium Phosphate) is a popular planting fertiliser in grain, forage and cotton in Australia’s inland cropping areas. It supplies phosphorus and starter nitrogen. The
    balance of the crop’s nitrogen requirement is applied pre-plant or is top or side-dressed during the growing season. There are times where other nutrients need to be applied in fertiliser programs, including sulfur, and the micronutrients (trace elements) such as zinc. Granulock SS and Granulock Z are sulfur and zinc enriched MAP fertiliser products that allow these two nutrients to be applied at planting.

    Granulock SS and Granulock Z 15 are ideal planting fertiliser for grain, forage and cotton crops where sulfur and zinc respectively are required. Granulock SS may also be used for pasture establishment, and when over-sowing or direct drilling into existing pasture. The nitrogen assists in the establishment of grasses and may help legumes in the first few weeks before their roots are properly nodulated, and they become self-sufficient in meeting their own nitrogen requirements.

    WHY CHOOSE GRANULOCK PRODUCTS?
    Precise Delivery – Each nutrient within every granule ensures that every plant is supplied with Zinc & all other nutrients.
    Strong Start – Granulock Z deliveres a balanced formulation of starter nutrients to promote plant establishment.
    Blending Flexibility – The product can be blended to create specific nutrient ratios appropriate to your needs and soil test results.

  • 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).

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.
