Solid fertilisers
BioAg’s solid fertiliser range is based on BioAgPhos®, a high-grade and highly reactive phosphate rock combined with BioAg’s microbial digesting agent. The result – a phosphate rock-based fertiliser range that is less reliant on rainfall to be plant available.
By replacing water solubility with microbial digestion, we have reduced the amount of nutrient susceptible to soil lock-up or leaching and provided a fertiliser range that can be spread at any time of the year. Around one-third of the phosphorus and calcium is immediately available, while the remainder is slowly digested and released, allowing for annual or every second-year fertiliser application. Independent analysis proves that 100% of our phosphorus is bio-available.*
As a major importer of high-grade reactive rock phosphate, we are able to deliver a secure source of phosphate-based fertilisers year-round. Our products are a natural and sustainable alternative to conventional fertilisers and are also Certified Allowed Inputs for use in Certified Organic systems.
In addition, microbial digestion provides a P fertiliser with a lower carbon footprint than traditional chemical fertilisers. In comparison to single superphosphate, BioAgPhos has a 20% lower carbon footprint per unit of phosphorus.
*Phosphorus bio-availability tested independently by the Australian Government’s reference laboratory, the National Measurement Institute (NMI).
Benefits
- Long-term P availability supports stronger and healthier plant and root system
- Increased surface area allowing for a more consistent release of Phosphorus into the soil
- Reduced fertiliser wastage
- Improved crop and pasture growth from year-round phosphorus availability
- Safe to spread on all areas including near waterways
- Lower carbon footprint than traditional chemical P fertilisers
- Smaller particle size provides greater distribution of particles than granulated fertilisers, which is beneficial, as P has low mobility in soils
- Simplified spreading by blending with additional soil nutrient requirements
Product Range
BioAgPhos
Solid Fertiliser
Highly reactive phosphate fertiliser made from high-grade reactive phosphate rock combined with BioAg’s microbial digesting agent.
S10 BioAgPhos
Solid Fertiliser
Provides elemental sulphur in the form of sulphur bentonite. Ideal for higher rainfall and higher leaching environments.
BioAg Superb
Solid Fertiliser
Incorporates calcium sulphate in the form of gypsum in BioAgPhos. Ideal for soils that need phosphorus, sulphur, and calcium, such as pastures and grazing, and for crops requiring extra sulphur, such as canola.
PotPhos with MoP
Solid Fertiliser
Incorporates Muriate of Potash, Sulphur Bentonite and BioAgPhos in a blend ideal for soils that need phosphorus, sulphur, and calcium such as pastures and grazing.
MagPhos
Solid Fertiliser
Incorporates dolomite in BioAgPhos. Ideal for soils that need phosphorus, sulphur, calcium, and magnesium, such as pastures and grazing systems where there is a risk of grass tetany.
Pasture Primo
Solid Fertiliser
Provides a rich source of calcium and phosphate through a blend of BioAgPhos and lime.
BioAgSoP
Solid Fertiliser
Organically certified granular form of fertiliser containing potassium and sulphur. Immediately available to crops and plants. Ideal for crops with a high potassium demand and sensitive to chloride.
BioAg SOA
Solid Fertiliser
Provides nitrogen as ammonia and sulphur in a sulphate form. Ideal as a source of pre-planting nitrogen and sulphur in annual cropping programs and as a source of sulphur and nitrogen in intensive pastures.
Committed to organics
With a core range of natural fertilisers and biostimulants, BioAg can offer an extensive range of products certified by Australian Organics, suitable for use in organic systems.
When to spread
Timing fertiliser spreading with crop or pasture needs, weather, and contractors has always been a challenge. Due to varying the mode of action when in soil, BioAg fertilisers can be spread at any time, so they are ready to produce when the rain comes.
Programs
BioAgPhos is ideal in grazing, cropping, horticulture and tree crops where an agronomically sound and cost-effective source of phosphate is needed. BioAgPhos provides capital phosphate in cropping programs, and complete phosphate supply in grazing programs, and permanent plantings like trees and vines.
