WELCOME TO FERTCO
We deliver personalised fertiliser programmes to New Zealand primary industries using innovative, ethically-sourced products focussing on nutrient efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Fertco farmers receive a one-on-one service and tailored nutrient programme that delivers results. Our Technical Nutrient Managers take the time to understand your farm – your approach, your systems, and your goals. They then carry out soil and plant nutrient testing to get a baseline measure against which we can track your results.
We go further than pure chemistry. We also analyse soil biology and soil physicality. The result is a custom ‘prescription’ of fertiliser requirements, based on these tests and your individual situation.
I'm spending less on my fertiliser than I have been and I'm growing more grass, resulting in saving money.

Soil & Herbage Testing
As a science-based organisation, soil and herbage tests underpin everything that we do. We use New Zealand testing labs who provide clear, consistent results based on years of trials and regularly calibrated procedures. This provides a strong foundation for us help you develop and maintain an effective fertiliser management plan.
Quality Advice & Nutrient Budgets
At Fertco, we commit time and resources to train our people. We know that recommending the best fertiliser programme for your soil is only part of the story, so are equipped to prepare a full nutrient budget report for both efficient nutrient management and compliance purposes.
Customised Recommendations
Every property is different, and so is every farmer, so we don’t have generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ products. Although we base our recommendations on soil and herbage tests, our aim is to develop a fertiliser programme in partnership with you to suit your specific property and individual goals. Customised orders are all in a day’s work for us!
Environmentally Sustainable Products
Sourcing environmentally sustainable products is what Fertco has always been about (see About for our story). We select products that mitigate nutrient losses and test everything for contaminants and impurities. It’s equally important to us that what we source from around the world is ethically produced.
Fertco provides high quality innovative products to the New Zealand primary industry while focusing on nutrient efficiency and sustainability.
Personalised Farm Nutrient Services
With Fertco, you get good old-fashioned customer service. We visit you in person, at your property, and work alongside you to develop fertiliser plans and nutrient budgets to achieve your goals – be they short or long term. We keep in regular contact with you and offer a full back-up service, meaning you can phone us for advice at any time.
