‘I’m saving the reef without trying…I’m building soil
structure and have less erosion…there is less wear
on the machinery which is a benefit in cost, less
abrasive soil, and we use less fuel. Healthier soil
means less drama’ B. Clerk, Herbert Valley
‘Our Carbon levels were terrible. Since we have been
using VRM products our Carbon has been increasing
steadily from 0.01% to 0.9%. Also, our soil isn’t as
compacted and we have more phosphorus that is
plant available’ M. Haselton, Burdekin

VRM products have recently been accredited by an

independent assessment panel to the Australian
Technology Showcase.

Case Study - Broad Acre Cropping

helps release nutrients locked in soil and accelerate
nutrient uptake and utilisation by your crop.

Use Less Fertiliser

Simultaneous improvement in soil biomass and
diversity of microbial development while in transition
to a lower fertiliser regime is something sought by
many growers. Greater urgency comes from the
growing need for soil structure management (to
prevent erosion and wind-blown losses) and for
moisture retention. These trials studied a transition
to significantly reduced nutrient application while
simultaneously applying products which fostered
specific microbial development in soil. Unlock Soil Nutrients
Widespread soil tests were conducted in 2007 and
2008 by Charles Sturt University. These have
highlighted significant improvements in Total Carbon
Use Less Water
and Phosphorus availability levels.
