Why Trace Element Coating
Trace elements play a critical role in plant nutrition. Even small deficiencies can restrict growth, limit yield potential, and reduce crop and pasture performance.
Our Trace Element Coatings provide a premium way to deliver science-backed, data-driven essential nutrients. By coating trace elements onto fertiliser granules, each application delivers more uniform nutrient distribution across the paddock and improved plant uptake efficiency.
Although required in small amounts, trace elements are just as essential to plant growth as macronutrients. Through Nutrient Advantage Laboratory Testing, growers can identify hidden deficiencies and build informed, data-driven trace element programs with confidence.
Overview
Trace elements are dynamic and often poorly represented in standard soil tests. What truly matters is what the plant can access – not just what exists in the soil. Our Nutrient Advantage Lab testing measures actual crop uptake, delivering accurate, science-backed, actionable data.
Our Trace Element Coatings – zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and molybdenum (Mo) – are designed for compatibility, consistency, and even spread. They integrate easily into compound fertilisers or custom blends, ensuring balanced nutrition across every row.
When incorporated into your broader on-farm program, our trace element solutions are prescribed to deliver targeted correction without overapplication.
Best for:
- Paddocks or pastures showing yield plateau despite standard fertiliser inputs
- Crops with known micronutrient demands
- Situations where comprehensive testing has identified micronutrient deficiencies
- Programs seeking uniform nutrient distribution through enhanced supplementation
Quality Assurance
With our Nutrient Guarantee, growers can be confident that every Trace Element Coating delivers exactly what’s stated on the label. Routine quality control testing across our supply network ensures every batch meets specification – providing reliable, consistent nutrition season after season.
Precise Application Through Tissue Testing
To make sure trace elements are applied where they will have the most impact, we recommend plant tissue testing through the Nutrient Advantage Laboratory. Tissue testing identifies real-time nutrient deficiencies in your crop, allowing you to apply trace elements with accuracy and tailor nutrition to the crop’s needs at the right time.
This approach gives farmers greater confidence in their fertiliser investment, removes guesswork, reduces the risk of under, or over-application, and helps optimise crop performance with targeted, data-backed decisions.
