About Us
At Profile Fertilisers Ltd, we pride ourselves on crafting unique fertiliser blends designed for maximum efficiency and minimal cost to the end user. Our manufacturing process is meticulously controlled, ensuring optimal chemical reactions for the highest plant uptake. What sets us apart is the ability to tailor the pH and neutralisation of our products during the manufacturing process to meet individual needs.
Innovative Products and Research:
The heart of our innovation lies in products like T3, a revolutionary phosphate blend developed to move away from traditional di-calcic products. Dr. Gordon Ragendram, a seasoned scientist, joined us as a scientific advisor, catalysing research and development efforts that resulted in Elevate, a patented lime-based product addressing soil challenges in New Zealand’s hill country.
Towards a Biological Aspect:
Don’s vision for Profile Fertilisers is to evolve into a unique boutique fertiliser company with a biological aspect rather than a chemical base. We aim to offer farmers cost-effective solutions with high phosphate content, allowing for lower application rates and reduced overall expenses.
Customization and Nitrogen Addition:
Our products can be customised to meet specific needs, and nitrogen in the form of slow-release N or coated urea can be seamlessly integrated into most blends.
Vision for the Future:
Profile Fertilisers is committed to supporting New Zealand’s green movement. As we march towards organic status for our products, we’re actively developing an organic, high-performance phosphate and exploring options for bio-type nitrogen. The potential of a green DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) is on the horizon.
