Established in 1992, Superior Fertilisers mineral facility began operations as a processing plant for Crushed Rock fertilisers resulting in the first commercial complete analysis rock dust mineral blends available to Australian farmers.
By 1994, they had designed the processing of these mineral blends in prilled form to facilitate on the farm spreading.
These alternative fertilisers were rapidly adopted by industry partners who marketed them as their own.
Eco-Growth recognised the benefit of completing these products by the addition of beneficial biology.
During 2001, the incorporation of phosphorus solubilising bacteria and proprietary organisms pioneered to become today’s biological fertiliser.
“Merged as one company, Eco-Growth and Superior Fertilisers have now expanded distribution to become industry standard mineral based fertilisers,” a company spokesperson said.
“We recommend Eco-Prime Red NPK fertiliser for young vines and irrigated vineyards while Eco-Prime Purple is a strong NPK fertiliser for high yielding crops.
“Express NPK is a comprehensive liquid fertiliser while Express Ca+B foliar calcium and boron is ideal for root uptake.
“Eco-Vital is for the development of fruit while Liquid VHumus+BA is a stimulant promoting root growth.
“It is essential for young vine establishment in poor soils while Humus400 is a solid soil conditioner used to increase water holding in the soil profile and buffer nutrient loss.”
