Sustainable Farming Case Studies

Australia’s current love affair with sustainable farming isn’t just about the environment and food trends.  With the right, scientific approach to implementing sustainable farming practices, including sustainable soil care, Australian farmers are seeing remarkable results.  As part of our commitment to excellence in farming practices, Guano Australia has conducted several studies both in Australia and abroad.  All case studies were conducted by reputable agronomy firms or academic institutions.  Sustainable farming case studies may include scientific data reporting and any applicable publication information.

BANANA FARM CASE STUDY

sustainable banana farm trees

Independent testing of Banana Farms was conducted across two sites using our Guano Liquid Gold® with KMS® product.  The study tested rate of plant, bud and fruit development as well as weight and size of banana yield. Fruit was also tested for nutritional content and “appearance.”

SUGAR CANE FARM CASE STUDIES

sugar cane farm guano case study

In our most comprehensive study, we worked with canegrowers in North Queensland to assess plant health, yield and environmental impact of sustainable fertilisation using our “low runoff” product ReefSafe®/Agrispon®.  In line with the Australian Government’s GameChange program, this study serves to assist farmers in staying compliant with potential future changes to legislation while improving sale prices for Queensland Sugar Cane farmers.

This study includes replicated trials and industry publications.

Reported Results in Other Industries

In addition to our formal case studies, we’ve conducted agronomist-based reporting on crop yields and soil analysis.  In some cases, these studies are ongoing as we implement long term sustainability projects on farms across Australia.

COTTON FARM CASE STUDY

Other Australian Farming Case Studies

Across Australia, we’re currently working with dozens of farmers across multiple industries to provide ongoing information around sustainable farming.  Our goal is to help Australian farmers to move to more environmentally sound practices while realising improved profits.  For more information on your unique challenges, or to enquire about proven results on a farm like yours, simply get in touch.

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
