Because on the farm, efficiency is everything

When it comes to good growth, it isn't just about the fertiliser you use; it's about how it gets used. To ensure maximum productivity, every granule needs to count.

Our advice hub is your go-to for practical, science backed advice on everything from nitrogen efficiency, soil health, and how to get the most from your nutrients.

Getting the most out of a constrained fertiliser investment is top of mind for many. Farmers and growers throughout New Zealand are doing some incredible things to optimise their natural resources and protect them for generations to come. Recently, we've been meeting dairy farmers from across the country who have had some real success driving clover performance in their pastures through good fertiliser and grazing management.

The next generation of Ballance Agri-Nutrients specialists have arrived at the company’s national support centre to complete an intensive training programme via an eight-week internship. The six interns will be initially based in Mount Maunganui, then connect with a Ballance mentor anywhere from Northland to Otago, to experience everything from 4WD driver training to soil testing, creating nutrient management plans for Ballance customers and taking part in the Surfing for Farmers programme.

Ballance Agri-Nutrients (Ballance) is in the final stages of testing an innovative, sector leading fertiliser technology developed to reduce parasite larvae on pasture. Conceived with scientists from AgResearch, it aims to address the growing issue of parasite resistance, a major challenge for New Zealand livestock farmers, by targeting the larvae that primarily reside on the pasture.

Ballance Agri-Nutrients (Ballance), in conjunction with Plucks Engineering and Southwater, is developing an innovative dairy effluent management system designed to help farmers improve on-farm effluent practices and reduce environmental impact.
