ActiveSlate
The High-Carbon Nutrient Engine
Engineered to outperform traditional MAP and SSP in real soil conditions.
Why Standard Fertilisers Underperform
Australian soils present unique challenges that traditional fertilisers weren't designed to handle.
Nutrient Lock-up
In acidic soils, nutrients become chemically bound and unavailable to plants
Phosphorus Fixation
Up to 80% of applied phosphorus can become unavailable within weeks
Inefficient Performance
Traditional fertilisers lose effectiveness the moment they hit the ground
Wasted Input Cost
Paying for nutrients your crops never actually receive
Carbon-Based Delivery System
ActiveSlate uses an innovative carbon-based delivery system that fundamentally changes how nutrients interact with your soil. Instead of immediate release and rapid lock-up, nutrients are protected and delivered when plants need them.
Protect Nutrients
Carbon-based matrix shields phosphorus from soil lock-up
Improve Uptake
Enhanced nutrient availability for plant roots
Extend Availability
Sustained release throughout the growing season
Support Soil Biology
Promotes beneficial microbial activity
Carbon Matrix Technology
Humic and fulvic acids create a protective barrier around nutrients, preventing fixation while enhancing soil biology
Engineered for Results
Every feature is designed to deliver measurable outcomes for Australian farmers.
Integrated Nutrient Defence
Protects phosphorus in difficult soils
Carbon matrix shields nutrients from soil chemistry that causes lock-up
Precision 'Start' Release
Immediate + controlled nutrient delivery
Two-phase release ensures plants get nutrients when they need them most
Reactive Humic Loading
Improves CEC and nutrient retention
Humic acids increase soil's ability to hold and exchange nutrients
Moisture Regulation
Better water retention and nutrient mobility
Enhanced soil structure improves water holding capacity
Clean Profile
Ultra-low cadmium
Meets strict environmental standards without compromising performance
Local Manufacturing
Consistent, reliable supply
Australian made in Shepparton VIC for Australian conditions
