Incitec Pivot Fertilisers

The Incitec Pivot Fertilisers crew is looking forward to a successful and industrious 2023 working with our Australian dealers and growers. Recently, some of our team members shared why they enjoy working for IPF, one of Australia's largest agriculture suppliers.

Potassium (K) is essential for regulating moisture in plants. Without sufficient K, crops can experience poor growth, low vigour, and increased risk of disease and frost damage. Across Australian agriculture, potassium levels are critically low, with removal rates more than triple replenishment. Effective K management requires regular soil testing and informed fertiliser decisions. Addressing K deficiencies early is essential, as it is often too late once symptoms appear. Whether growing crops or managing grazing, understanding soil K levels and making informed choices is key for better productivity.

📝PROJECT UPDATE: Incitec Pivot Fertilisers At Polymaster, we love a challenge! When Incitec Pivot, a global leader in explosives, fertilisers, and chemicals, needed a durable solution for their Portland, Victoria site, they turned to us. The task was to design, manufacture, and deliver a 135KL chemical-resistant storage system to capture and treat contaminated rainwater while keeping things on time and within budget. Working closely together brought their vision to life with our heavy-duty rotomoulded tanks, precision construction drawings, and tight project management. The result - A solution built to last, minimising downtime and helping Incitec Pivot keep operations flowing smoothly.

Work is now complete on the $2.5 Million dollar investment on the EASY Liquids Whitton site. The upgrades include increased capacity and manufacturing efficiencies to assist the team in delivering productivity gains for local growers. #InspiringProductivity #EASYLiquids

Increasingly, growers are looking to the fertiliser industry to support their efforts to improve nutrient use efficiency while safeguarding crop production. Over the past 18 months, we’ve invested $1.6 million into upgrading our Tasmanian distribution sites with cutting-edge liquid coating technology. This allows for the precise application of Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEFs) like Green Urea NV® and eNpower®. Our new system optimises nitrogen retention and trace element coatings, providing a uniform, reliable product tailored to meet the specific needs of farmers across Tasmania.

Nitrogen (N) is vital for plant growth, but it also accounts for 70% of on-farm cotton GHG emissions. Reducing N use per kilogram of cotton is essential for sustainability. IPF supports cotton growers with Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEFs) like eNpower® and Green Urea NV®, which help protect N investments without compromising yields. Recent internal studies confirm that using EEFs can maintain yield with reduced N rates. For sustainable and profitable cotton farming, integrating EEFs and adhering to the 4Rs of nutrient management – right product, right rate, right time, right place – is crucial.

Two years ago, IPF challenged University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Centre for Agricultural Engineering to automate precision liquid fertiliser application using existing technology. The result? An innovative, IPF-funded project demonstrating how farmers can optimise liquid fertiliser use, reduce costs, and enhance safety. Key outcomes include automated tank refilling and variable rate technology for precision application of Easy N. The project’s success in field testing and new user guides offers a comprehensive roadmap for adopting autonomous technology in agriculture.
