New Zealand farmers, orchardists, viticulturalists and crop growers now have a natural biological alternative to conventional fertilisers to help boost soil fertility, structure and productivity.

BioAg Biological Solutions are a revolutionary range of organic liquid biological cultures that deliver essential nutrients and metabolites directly to pastures and crops, ready for immediate uptake, as well as stimulating microbial activity in the soil.

Developed in Australia, trials on New Zealand soils that began in 2007 have shown positive results under kiwi conditions, with major improvements seen in soil health and livestock and crop productivity.

The BioAg programme uses a holistic approach to address the causes, rather than treat the symptoms of declining soil fertility and structure, plant and animal health, and production - working with nature rather than against it.

Most BioAg cultures are organically certified, and can be used alongside conventional systems and products to correct nutritional imbalance.

With the prospect of further increases in fuel and fertiliser costs, and global demand for safe, healthy and residue-free food, BioAg products and programmes offer an effective, cost-efficient alternative.
