The official certification last week, by Australian Organic, provides farmers assurance that using FertAg 0-8-0 will be compliant with organic farming certification.  

FertAg managing director Les Szonyi said the company is proud of its newly acquired status and looks forward to giving organic farmers an efficient source of organic phosphorus (P) as well as improving soil health and crop quality.

“FertAg 0-8-0 offers organic farmers a source of 95 per cent available Phosphorus (8%) which is faster acting in acid soils than the usual sources of organic Phosphorus  – reactive rock phosphate and guano,” Mr Szonyi said.

FertAg 0-8-0 provides soil amendment and fertilizer together in one application to acid soils. It assists in increasing pH to a sustainable level whilst providing useful amounts of macro elements Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Silicon (Si) and Phosphorus (P) as well as a range of micro nutrients. It is not water soluble and therefore does not leach or wash away.

FertAg 0-8-0 works with the natural soil chemistry to digest soil acid as well as providing minerals in a plant available form. It is high in plant available calcium (23%), magnesium (10%) silicon (11%) and phosphorus (8%) and also acts as an alternative to lime.
