Ask about Technical Issues

Soil and plant analysis provides the information you need for healthy crops and pastures, it is the first step to efficient nutrient management, and productive and profitable farming.

Patented coating and impregnating of fertilizer granules with extra nutrients and trace elements means Hi Fert can deliver products that are more efficient, easier to handle and due to reduced volume, cheaper to transport, store and apply. High analysis fertilizer gives you more nutritional power per kilogram.

Our high analysis granulated fertilizers also spread more evenly when compared to semi-granulated fertilizers such as single superphosphate, resulting in an improved uptake of applied nutrients by your pastures.

Broadacre and horticulture crops

Good nutrition is essential for healthy and productive crops. Hi Fert is able to tailor fertilizers to your soil types and environmental conditions.

Through improved soil nutrition, better plant health, greater yields and increased farm profitability, Hi Fert gives farmers’ the growing edge.  

Pastures

Fertilizer supplies essential nutrients used by plants and animals in grazing systems. A good fertilizer regime will help your pastures reach optimum production in both quantity and quality for stock.

Under good management and the right fertilizer applications we can improve soil fertility. This means improved stocking rates and the quality of feed giving us improved farm production and sustainability.   

Choosing a Fertilizer

Choosing the right fertilizer and correct rate of application means:

• You apply the nutrients your crop or pasture needs, without wastage
• Nutrition for your crop, pasture and livestock is balanced
• Production is optimised
• The risk of nutrient run-off is minimised

This means better return and improved profits, unless you get your nutrition right – forget the rest.  We can help you choose the right fertilizer for your farm.

Soil Testing

Contact your local Dealer for a soil-testing kit. By testing your soil you can see what nutrients you have in the bank.

When soil testing you will need to collect the following information to help develop your fertilizer program: 

• Recent soil test results (from within the last two years)
• The past two years of fertilizer history
• What crop are you growing and what is your expected yield?
• Alternatively, what is your stocking rate? (cattle per hectare/sheep per hectare)
• Average annual rainfall and growing season rainfall
• Irrigation and type
