Fertiliser Blending

The Pursehouse Rural Fertiliser Prescription plant in Quirindi NSW has been operated by the company since 2003. Over recent years there has been a major maintenance program in place to ensure the plant operates efficiently especially at peak demand times of the growing season.

The plant produces a comprehensive range of liquid and granular fertiliser products and can supply all product from sizes ranging 20kg to 1 tonne bags and 1000L shuttles. We also bulk fill both granular and liquid fertiliser to appropriate fertiliser transport vehicles on site.    

Granular Fertilisers 

The Pursehouse Rural fertiliser plant maintains a comprehensive range of bulk granular fertiliser including:

MAP, Starter 15 ,Urea, DAP , Granam and Supreme Z Extra.

Customised blends can be created based on soil tests with the guidance of the Pursehouse Rural agronomy team or the customers’ private agronomist for delivery or pick up.

Liquid Fertiliser

The Pursehouse Rural fertiliser plant stocks both N42 and Flowphos 13Z in both 1000L Shuttles for freight and also via direct fill for liquid bulk carriers.

Flowphos 13Z liquid fertiliser contains 100% water soluble nitrogen, phosphorous and zinc ideal for use during planting in a range of broadacre and horticultural applications. 

N42 is a liquid nitrogen product containing urea, ammonium and nitrate nitrogen and is ideal for supplying nitrogen where required across a wide range of broadacre and horticultural crops.

The benefits of granular fertiliser blending

Granular fertilisers are solid fertilisers that are made up of small particles and are typically applied to the soil in a dry form. Granular fertilisers are convenient to use and can be easily spread over large areas using a variety of application methods. One specific benefit of granular fertilisers is that they can be blended together to create custom nutrient formulations that are tailored to the specific needs of a particular crop or field. This process is known as granular fertiliser blending.

There are several benefits to granular fertiliser blending:

  1. Customized nutrient formulations: By blending different granular fertilisers together, farmers can create nutrient formulations that are tailored to the specific needs of their crops. This can be especially useful for crops that have specific nutrient requirements or for fields with soil that is deficient in certain nutrients.
  2. Improved efficiency: By blending granular fertilisers together, farmers can improve the efficiency of their nutrient application. For example, they can blend a slow-release nitrogen fertiliser with a more quickly available phosphorus fertiliser to provide a more balanced and consistent supply of nutrients to the crops.
  3. Reduced costs: By creating custom nutrient formulations, farmers can reduce their costs by only applying the specific nutrients that their crops need, rather than applying a more general-purpose fertiliser that contains a wider range of nutrients. This can also help reduce the risk of over-fertilization, which can be costly and have negative environmental impacts.
  4. Improved crop performance: By providing the right balance and ratio of nutrients to their crops, farmers can improve the overall performance of their crops and potentially increase yields.

Overall, granular fertiliser blending can be a useful tool for farmers as it allows them to create custom nutrient formulations that are tailored to the specific needs of their crops and soil, which can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and improve crop performance
