Broadacre cropping
Agricultural land is also an integral part of the Australian ecosystem and has a significant environmental value, of which farmers are responsible for managing approximately 385 million hectares (or 58 per cent of Australia). Broadacre cropping is a significant farming practice and optimising soil health for a sustainable future is vital. To aid in the yield and quality goals of your broadacre crops BioAg can develop a complete program, or one that supplements your existing regime.
Specific considerations for broadacre cropping
Access to phosphorus and combatting abiotic stresses and poor soil conditions are common issues across broadacre cropping.
By providing a sustained release form of phosphate in combination with starter fertiliser we ensure phosphorus, a critical nutrient for plant growth and energy transport, is available throughout the growing season.
Addressing macro and micro nutrient deficiencies, as well as aspects such as soil organic carbon, pH, nutrient cycling and nutrient transport, at planting and through the growing season, provides crops the best opportunity to achieve optimal yield and quality.

- BioAg in the field
A recent field visit by some of the BioAg team to a canola Demonstration crop in Southern NSW that is utilising a bespoke BioAg soil health program - it’s looking the goods, given heads and shoulders only in view.
- Is Nitrogen fertiliser burning a hole in your pocket and your soils?
There is no doubt that high yielding crops, pastures and permanent plantings all require nitrogen (N). It is a major component of both chlorophyll, required for photosynthesis, and of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
- Stimulate your soil and seed, with Soil & Seed!
Soil & Seed biostimulant has long been a foundation of BioAg’s cropping and horticultural programs. We’ve been producing and selling it for 23 years, giving Soil & Seed a proven track record and a reputation that speaks for itself.
- Demos and trials
BioAg continues to participate in ongoing demonstrations with growers and independent trials where needed. The coming season is no different, with both long term trials and demos in pastures being planned or continued. We are part way through a 3 year wheat and canola t...
