EQUINE

Fertco has two decades of experience testing and fertilising some of New Zealand’s largest and most successful Stud operations. These are large intensive operations that rely on quality pasture for not only horses, but also sheep and cattle. Understanding the specific requirements for these businesses and supplying the correct nutrients in an animal safe form has been the backbone of our successful partnerships. Using this experience, we have been able to develop a comprehensive product for smaller equine blocks, available in convenient 25 kg bags from various merchant outlets.

The Fertco CloverZone is a soil and plant testing and reporting tool that combines a soil management plan and fertiliser programme, designed to position soils in the optimum condition to maximise clover growth.

Fertco Services

Soil & Herbage Testing

As a science-based organisation, soil and herbage tests underpin everything that we do. We use New Zealand testing labs who provide clear, consistent results based on years of trials and regularly calibrated procedures. This provides a strong foundation for us help you develop and maintain an effective fertiliser management plan.

Quality Advice & Nutrient Budgets

At Fertco, we commit time and resources to train our people. We know that recommending the best fertiliser programme for your soil is only part of the story, so are equipped to prepare a full nutrient budget report for both efficient nutrient management and compliance purposes.

Customised Recommendations

Every property is different, and so is every farmer, so we don’t have generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ products. Although we base our recommendations on soil and herbage tests, our aim is to develop a fertiliser programme in partnership with you to suit your specific property and individual goals. Customised orders are all in a day’s work for us!

Environmentally Sustainable Products

Sourcing environmentally sustainable products is what Fertco has always been about (see About for our story). We select products that mitigate nutrient losses and test everything for contaminants and impurities. It’s equally important to us that what we source from around the world is ethically produced.
