Nutrient Management Planning – Dairy focus
The dairy industry is amongst the highest nutrient fluxes (inflows and outflows) for any agricultural production system and therefore has relatively low nutrient use efficiencies. The ongoing intensification of the industry also means these nutrient fluxes are continuing to increase per hectare, increasing both the reliance on imported feed and Nitrogen fertiliser use.
Distributor Spotlight – Dindi Ag
Dindi Ag has been supplying BioAg solid fertilisers and biostimulants to the local grazing industry for almost two decades.

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 trial using a liquid biostimulant program, as part of Farmlink programs being run at Temora. Initial observations have been promising.
Building a feed wedge
While this season’s rainfall has extended pasture growth; it is traditional that livestock operations start to run short of good pasture any time from late summer through to late winter. Spring reserves are grazed down, while cold weather reduces the amount of new vegetative growth.
Post-harvest – a key period for orchards and vineyards
Post-harvest is an important period for perennial tree crops and vines. This is when carbohydrates and nutrient reserves (like nitrogen) are replenished prior to dormancy. These reserves are then used at bud or flower burst and the start of the next season.
Post-harvest applications of nutrients and biostimulants ensure adequate levels of nutrients are available and accessed by your trees or vines. Application immediately after harvest also avoids the rush or non-application of required nutrients later in the season due to overly wet conditions.
