PacFert can offer mined gypsum loading from bogie loads to road train trailers and B-doubles from Pinkenba and Port of Brisbane in QLD.
Other special products and blends come out of the Ipswich site.
We can package the natural high quality grade 1 gypsum with competitive bulk transport and spreading services.
Our gypsum is 95+% pure, ensuring you aren’t buying, transporting and spreading a large percentage of dirt or other impurities.
Agricultural production removes plant nutrients; therefore, these must be replaced to sustain production. Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are perhaps the two nutrients of greater importance because Australian soils are inherently low in these elements. In the case of P, reactive phosphate rock (RPR) is the most practical fertiliser to replace P in broad-acre organic farming (Penfold 2000). For N, the optimal replacement strategy is legume N2 fixation; however, this process is highly dependent on P nutrition (Donald and Williams 1956). Hence, replacing P is crucial to sustaining productive organic cropping systems.
Phosphate rock (PR) is an allowed input for managing phosphate fertility on organic farms and is potentially suitable for mildly acidic to strongly acidic soils, because acidity is required to breakdown the phosphate rock to release P in a form that is available to plants. However, PR is generally only effective under substantially higher rainfall conditions than occur in the southern cropping regions of Australia, where previous work has sometime found it to be ineffective. In many soils, elemental sulphur (S) is naturally oxidised by soil bacteria to produce acid. Mixing PR with S may thus have a positive role in improving the effectiveness of PR in the southern cropping areas.
Balance
A quality fertiliser should have a balance of all the nutrients needed for optimum plant growth, yield, and quality. Does your fertiliser contain more than N-P-K? Does it include calcium and sulfur? How about trace minerals? If you answered yes, than you are part of the way toward a quality fertiliser. If you said no or don’t know, consider changing to a more balanced fertiliser.
Soluble to Slow-Release
This aspect of fertiliser refers to nutrient availability over time. Most fertilisers are highly soluble, which gives the plant a dose of nutrients early on, but leaves fewer nutrients for later in the growing season. By balancing soluble to slow-release, the plant receives adequate nutrients throughout the growing season. The source of nutrients you use can make a big difference in how those nutrients are distributed over time. Take a look at your nutrient source. MAP, for example, has a lower pH which will allow for a longer feed time in the soil compared to DAP. Potassium from K-mag and Sulfate of Potash will release slower in the soil than 0-0-60 (potassium chloride) because 0-0-60 is very water soluble.
pH
The pH of fertiliser plays an important role in its availability. When a fertiliser has a pH in the range of 5.5 to 6.5, the nutrients are more available to the plant with less chance of them becoming tied up in the soil. Also, the lower pH fertiliser helps to make nutrients already in the soil more available to growing plants. This can mean more nutrient release and uptake in the root zone. Do you know the pH of your fertiliser ingredients?
Non-Harmful
A fertiliser should be as gentle as possible on the soil, the roots and the soil microbes. High levels of chloride (found in 0-0-60) and ammonia (found in anhydrous or DAP) can have negative side effects such as causing burn which can harm seedlings and roots. Keeping those negatives to a minimum, plus supplying root and biological stimulants, can have a positive effect on yield.
Pacific Fertilisers custom blended products are formulated with all of the above in mind. PacFert finds and sources ingredients that make a complete balanced fertiliser. We blend soluble and slow-release nutrients, and we look at the pH balance to determine quality and effectiveness when applied to the soil. We can also use humates as a carbon source to hold nutrients in the soil so they can be available all season to the plant. Using the right source and having it available at the right time keeps your costs down and at the same time maximizes your crop’s potential.
Pacific Fertiliser can blend elemental sulphur (or sulphur bentonite) in with most of its products including phosphate rock and gypsum.
Benefits of Sulphur:
• Sulphur is known to improve the metabolism of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium.
• Elemental sulphur can be used where sulphur deficiency in soils is known to exist.
• Application of sulphate sulphur can lower the pH of alkaline soils.
Pacific Fertiliser can blend many fertilisers, minerals and trace elements including urea, MAP, DAP, gypsum, lime, phosphate rock, elemental sulphur, potassium, magnesium, cobalt sulphate, copper sulphate, zinc sulphate, manganese sulphate, selenium & silica. We can also blend a high analysis compost with gypsum and other products to meet you needs.
Pacific Fertiliser is offering a special deal of 6mm screened mined gypsum for the special price of $ per tonne.
We have 3000 tonne stockpiled onsite in Brisbane and offer a 2014 Autumn special until this stockpile is sold.
The sub 6mm natural gypsum has a purity of 96%, a mean particle size of 0.5mm and is suitable for horticulture, golf courses, turf and sporting fields.
Please contact us for more information on this deal.
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.
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.
Pacific Fertiliser supplies high quality gypsum products and fertiliser products to New Caledonia.
PacFert releases a new blended product called REMAP. A blend containing Urea, DAP, Rock Phosphate, Lime and Gypsum. REMAP has good levels of N, P, K, S and Ca.
Which provides you with a good base of soil nutrients in a single low cost application.
| PRODUCT | Nitrogen (N) | Phosphorous (P) | Potassium (K) | Sulphur (S) | Calcium (Ca) |
| % w/w | % w/w | % w/w | % w/w | % w/w | |
| REMAP | 18+ | 2+ | 1+ | 1.5% | 6+ |
Pacific Fertiliser supplies high quality gypsum & lime into the majority of the major QLD mining projects due to the superior quality of its products and reliability of delivery. Some application include stabilisation, rehabiliation, flocculation and water treatment.
