Fertilisers

Potassic sulphur super products are suitable for use in a wide range of pastoral situations. The potassium is supplied by muriate of potash, so these products are not suitable for use on chloride-sensitive crops.

Super supports faster plant and pasture growth, by providing rapidly available phosphorus and sulphur - the two nutrients New Zealand soil is naturally deficient in.

SustaiN 15K is a blend of SustaiN and muriate of potash, designed for use when you need to boost growth and replenish potassium levels at the same time. It is particularly suited to soils prone to potassium leaching, e.g. pumice, sands and coarse-textured soils. Use late spring and summer to promote clover health and extend production. It is also ideal for hay and silage paddocks to promote recovery after harvest or for dairy farms with high potassium requirements that require multiple applications.

SustaiN 25K is a blend of SustaiN and muriate of potash, designed for use when you need to boost growth and replenish potassium levels at the same time. It is particularly suited to soils prone to potassium leaching, e.g. pumice, sands and coarse-textured soils.  Use late spring and summer to promote clover health and extend production. It is also ideal for hay and silage paddocks to promote recovery after harvest or for dairy farms with high potassium requirements that require multiple applications.  This is an ideal product to apply to lift potassium levels as part of a wider fertiliser programme. 

SustaiN supports pasture and crop growth by keeping more nitrogen where it’s needed – in the soil. Coated in a patented nitrogen stabliliser called AGROTAIN®, SustaiN reduces the amount of nitrogen lost to the atmosphere by around 50%, when compared to standard urea.

SustaiN 20K is a blend of SustaiN and muriate of potash, designed for use when you need to boost growth and replenish potassium levels at the same time.  It is particularly suited to soils prone to potassium leaching, e.g. pumice, sands and coarse-textured soils.  Use late spring and summer to promote clover health and extend production.

Cropzeal 15P contains soluble phosphate and nitrogen in the ammonium form. It is suitable for crops where soil Olsen P levels are low (less than 15 in the top 150 mm), especially if the crops are shallow-rooted brassicas such as turnips and swedes. It is also ideal when the starter fertiliser needs to be low in sulphur, e.g. when brassicas are being grown in soils with low sulphur availability - adding sulphur in this situation promotes the formation of SMCOs.

Cropzeal 16N contains soluble phosphate, ammonium nitrogen and soluble sulphate. It is suitable for use on soils with an Olsen P greater than 15. This is a general-purpose starter fertiliser that is ideal for use when sowing cereal crops, and also when establishing new pastures.
