Shamrock Seaweed fertiliser (25kg and 500kg bags) is a pure natural fertiliser, harvested from calcified seaweed (Lithothamnium calcareum), and is long established and well proven as an excellent soil conditioner. Chemical fertilisers (N, P, K) make a meaningful contribution to soil management, however, some chemicals, especially nitrogen, can make the soil acidic and has a coarsening and bitter influence on grass. Therefore, an effective grassland fertiliser program also needs to include a component to combat acidity, improve palatability of higher feed value and supply necessary trace elements and minerals for full production, fertility and health.
Application of Shamrock Seaweed fertiliser is a cost effective and positive step towards avoiding the heavy cost of correcting a nutrient deficiency, or losses associated with impaired crop production. Application rate is 200kg/acre every 5 years.
