Each of our products has a direct impact on your farm.



Soil	Replace true losses of macro elements reduced soil compaction as biological activity increases Increases trace elements Increased biological activity Boosts and improves soil condition Can be used before replacements of macro elements Slightly alkaline which encourages biological activity	Reduces soil compaction as biological activity increases Increases calcium levels of lime and increased biological activity Boosts and improves soil conditions Can be used before replacement of macro elements Slightly alkaline which encourages biological activity	Replace true losses of macro elements Reduces soil compaction as biological activity increases Increases trace elements Increased biological activity Boosts and improves soil condition Can be used before replacement of macro elements Nuetral pH which encourages biological activity

Pasture	Additional Nitrogen can be added to target strategic growth Increased dry matter production and metabolised energy Deeper rooting of grass Greater grass root mass Increased clover production Fine particles easily available	Increased dry matter production Increased quality feed and metabolised energy Deeper rooting of grass Greater root mass Increased clover production Fine particles easily available	Elements released at optimal rate for plant production Additional Nitrogen can be added to target strategic growth Increased dry matter production and metabolised energy Deeper rooting of grass Greater grass root mass Increased clover production

Animal	Improved animal grazing Improved weight gains Improved health through better feed conversion Reduction in mineral related disease and metabolic illnesses	Improved animal grazing Improved weight gain Improved health through better feed coversion Improved productivity Reduction in mineral related disease and metabolic illnesses	Improved animal grazing Improved weight gains Improved health through better feed conversion A reduction in mineral related disease and metabolic illnesses

Environment	Improved soil nutrient retention Accurate application and less drift	No nitrate leaching Improved soil nutrient retention Accurate application and less drift	Improved soil nutrient retention

Return on Investment	"Buying land back" by increasing grazing areas Up to 15% increase in dry matter production for same dollar spent on	Increased production per hectare Potentially higher stocking value Sustainability of production and farm	Cost effective "Buying land back" by increasing grazing areas Production for same dollar spent on Increased production per hectare Potentially higher stocking value Sustainablity of production and farm

Cropping			pH nuetral therfore does not impact seed Ideal for hay andsileage areas where annual losses of phosphates are increased
