GROPhosTM Innovative Bio-Friendly Fertilisers

GROPhosTM Innovative Bio-Friendly Fertilisers All year around phosphate supply with a combination of soluble and slow release phosphate. GROPhosTM high citric solubility comes from the flash calcination of high grade natural phosphate minerals. Using our unique, proven and proprietary processes, our GROPhosTM fertilisers provide significant benefits to customers and partners. GROPhosTM is a natural answer to the problem of soils having low P-availability. USING GROPhosTM GROPhosTM has one of the highest citrate soluble phosphate level available in the organic market. GROPhosTM is made from naturally occurring rock phosphate deposits and is flash calcined to allow the release of the citrate soluble phosphates. This is a microbiological friendly phosphate with a very high surface area to allow the remaining phosphate to become available. This product offers great value per unit of available phosphorus. GROPhosTM BENEFITS ? Extremely high citrate solubility of phosphorus. ? Very high surface area facilitates release of insoluble phosphorus. ? Locally produced from natural phosphate rock. ? Combines rapid-release characteristics with slow release capability to ensure adequate phosphate supply throughout the season. ? Exceptional trace element minerals levels. ? In the process of being registered with the Biological Farmers Of Australia.
