"The following seasons saw an amazing improvement in the health and density of the rye grass & clover"

In my role as a local share farmer I had previously sown a crop of Euro milling oats into a paddock that had not been fertilized for 7 years.

In August 1997, lime and gypsum were applied at around 600kg per hectare together with Guano Gold-kwik Start fertiliser at a rate of (42.5kg per acre) around 105kg per hectare. These were applied on the suggestion of a previous soil test.

The oat crop grew well producing a healthy crop of good quality grain and with an excellent yield of almost 2 tonnes per hectare - taking account of the poor fertiliser history.

However, the following seasons saw an amazing improvement in the health and density of the rye grass and clover in the same Guano Gold-Kwik Start treated area.

The strong, dense mat of clover was categorically maintained for 2 years without additional fertiliser. impressed by these favourable results, my neighbouring broadacre farmer, Mr Chris Ridout, witnessed these improvements brought about by the application of Guano Gold-Kwik Start, he then ordered 25 tonnes of Guano Gold-Kwik Start for his own farm.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Being so far away from our markets, durability is critical and the Silica is really good in terms of hardening up the skin and making the melons better to transport.Ord River WA irrigator David Menzel-Barradale

The problem with many organic fertilisers is that they have very low rates of nutrients, meaning you need to put out high rates. A product like Guano Gold has 12pc P, whereas Guano Sulphur Gold has 10.5pc P, obviously with additional sulphur. These figures compare very favourably with something like a single superphosphate product. Agronomically, it’s a good product in any setting, not just for organic producers.Garry Allison, Landmark Agronomist. Mount Gambier, SA

For the broadacre croppers, Guano Gold works really well in paddocks where they have had issues with nutrient tie-up. He said the majority of synthetic P products have large rates of water soluble P. The problem with that is that you can have instances where it ends up tying up zinc in the soil so you run into problems with zinc deficiencies. Not only does the slow release nature of the Guano Gold product work well over the entire season, it also contains zinc for the crop as well as the other nutrients.Moree agronomist Rob Drewitt

We strongly recommend the Guano Gold products to fellow farmers if they are looking at improving their Calcium and Silica levels using various methods of application such as foliar and granular.James and Aimee Thomas Falkirk Macadamia Farm

I have recommended Guano Gold products for 20 years and in all cases had excellent long-term results increasing in pasture productivity.Paul Baguely - PB Ag Consulting

They are high analysis products so you get your nutrients without having to put too much fertiliser out.Anthony Beutel, Googa Farm Organics

We have known since the 1930s that phosphorus is one of the main elements required to grow a successful crop of not just the (flax) plant but the seed. It was one of those products that was first out in a granular type form and it was so much easier to get an even coverage over the ground, rather than a powder form. Later on the product became a little more refined, so we could put it through our air-seeder. We also broadcast some of it, prior to seeding, when we are cultivating ground. The products have great characteristics in relation to phosphate and silica, which is exactly what we need for flax.Waltanna Farms flax-seed farmer & Ambassador for Guano Australia, Michael Nagorcka
