CROPPING

Maize

At Fertco, we recognise that maize is a high yielding crop with specific nutrient needs which must be applied at the right time. Our Smart Maize Programme is a proven performer that addresses both these requirements by focussing on soil quality through testing and physical analysis. It is seed safe, so can be applied at sowing time. Farmers experience less N loss, less effort, and higher yields.

Brassicas

Fertco’s Smart Brassica Base delivers maximum yield by targeting vital plant requirements. It provides all essential macro and micro-nutrients and includes Nsmart which is great for crops because it releases nitrogen slowly, matching germination and growth rate patterns. There’s no need to side-dress, and it is also seed-safe. So it’s easy to use and there is less N loss.

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 without polluting the local environment or involving child labour.
