Growing pasture for livestock

The Nutrigro range of products has been developed to meet the fertiliser requirements of most small blocks and lifestyle farms. The products supply nitrogen, soluble phosphorus, readily available sulphur and two trace elements – cobalt and selenium.

Nutrigro provides nitrogen (N) for chlorophyll production - growth, phosphorus (P) for energy and sulphur (S) to aid chlorophyll production along with cobalt (Co) and selenium (Se) for animal health.

The Nutrigro range of products has been developed to meet the fertiliser requirements of most small blocks and lifestyle farms. The products supply nitrogen, soluble phosphorus, readily available sulphur and two trace elements – cobalt and selenium. Potassium is also included in Nutrigro 13K.

Nutrigro 13K provides nitrogen (N) for chlorophyll production - growth, phosphorus (P) for energy, potassium (K) for water and electrical balance in plants and sulphur (S) to aid chlorophyll production along with cobalt (Co) and selenium (Se) for animal health.

 Pasture

Super is the fertiliser traditionally regarded as having most benefited New Zealand agriculture. Supports plant growth quickly, by providing rapidly available phosphate and sulphate.

Suitable for use in a wide range of pastoral situations. May be blended with a range of other fertilisers, including trace elements.

Get your soil tested

Many factors influence the type and amount of fertiliser a farm needs. These include past fertiliser history, soil type, aspect, local climate, rainfall, land use, stock type and stocking rate. The only way to be sure of your fertiliser and lime requirements is to take soil tests. This is the best way to ensure you aren’t applying more or less than what you require to have optimal grass growth for your stock.

Ballance has a partnership with Hill Laboratories who are New Zealand's largest privately owned analytical testing laboratory, specialising in environmental, agricultural and food testing.
Hills Labortories can supply a sampling kit to get your soil testing underway. Soil tests on small blocks should be taken once every three years, at least three months after the last application of fertiliser or lime.
