Not all phosphate products work the same way.

MainPhos is designed to provide a more sustained phosphorus release, with 70% citrate solubility and a neutral pH range of 6.5–7.

Compared to highly water soluble options that release quickly, MainPhos is often used where a more measured release profile is preferred.

Different products all have their place depending on the farm system, soil conditions, and programme goals. Understanding those differences is what helps build the right fit for each farm.

🌱 Get in touch if you’d like to talk through where MainPhos could fit into your programme.

Mainfert was pleased to be a sponsor with funds helping to modernise the rescue helicopter fleet, invest in new technologies and equipment, and provide specialist crew training.

Mainfert Humates are a natural addition to Mainfert’s fertiliser programs and products. Humates have been used for centuries to improve soil health, enhance nutrient uptake, and stimulate stronger root development, naturally.

They help improve soil structure, increase nutrient efficiency, and support better overall pasture and performance. By making essential nutrients more available in the soil, humates promote stronger, healthier plants that are more resilient to stress.

Mainfert’s Humates are a smart addition to your fertility program.

Healthier soil today. Higher production tomorrow. 🌱
