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.

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.

In late July 2023, the Ballance team lost a team member in a sudden and tragic accident. All who knew Wesley have been immensely impacted by his death. 

Ballance Agri-Nutrients (Ballance) fertiliser SustaiN – which contains a urease inhibitor that significantly reduces the amount of ammonia released to the air, has now been registered by the Ministry of Primary Industries and is the first fertiliser in New Zealand to achieve this status.   

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.
