BIOS Program

Helping farmers use sustainable systems to get the edge they need to improve profits

Our Sustainable Solutions

We have a range of programs that we are continually updating and expanding that have been helping growers overcome their unique challenges using sustainable farming practices. Go to our trials section to see the improvements growers have achieved using our products and programs.

Crop and Soil Health Programs

Optimising growth, yields and profits

These programs focus on applying inputs that work with nature to improve soil biological activity and intensify crop production ... science and nature at work!

Improvements in yield,  uniformity and quality of produce result - see our trial work.

Our cost-effective programs typically result in:

·         reduced fertiliser use/ enhanced fertiliser management

·         improved uniformity in crop

·         increase in soil moisture/improved water efficiency/reduced pumping costs/increased production per mega litre of water

·         improved soil structure and less water/nutrient run-off

·         reduced leaching of fertiliser and contamination of waterways

·         buffering of soils against salinity

·         improved root growth

·         increased beneficial microbe activity

·         pest and disease suppression

·         plants better able to resist heat and cold stress

These programs have shown improved yields and profits when used alongside the grower's program.

We strongly recommend growers trial a crop health program on a block so they can measure the improvements for themselves.

We care about your results so call us now about the best program for your crop - 1800 765 007.

All our products are available through the extensive IHD retail group. Go to www.ihd.com.auto find your closest retailer.

Fertilizer Programs

Essential nutrients - better uptake

Providing a balanced fertility program that improves nutrient uptake and retains nutrients in the soil.

Our programs have been designed using high quality products to provide nutrients cost-effectively .... helping farmers grow profits - see our trial results for yield and profit increases.

Why these programs work:

·         Improved soil moisture

·         Combination  of available and slow release nutrients

·         Naturally balanced fertility

·         Improved fertilizer uptake

·         Buffer soil against salinity

·         Improved root growth

·         Improved soil health - safe for microbes

 We strongly recommend growers trial a crop health program on a block so they can measure the improvements for themselves.

BIOS Soil Testing

BIOS Soil Testing provides the basis for managing soil efficiently. It is designed to help build soil structure, address field limitations and meet nutritional needs for future crops.

The best place to start is with a soil analysis report. The most important part of this is the information on the percentage base saturation of cations. Soil Nutrient Balance is very important, even more than high nutrient levels! You can have high NPK levels, and plants can still starve because of unbalanced soil cations.

Good soil reports should list all the important cations, their desired levels and the levels your soil achieved. Recommendations should then be made to you on what you need to add to balance your soil.

BIOS Soil Reports give sustainable and integrated recommendations.

If you would like us to provide sustainable recommendations on your current soil results, email us with your results.

BIOS Tissue Testing

One simple cost-effective way of ensuring the nutrients in the soil are being absorbed by the plant in appropriate levels is to analyse the plant tissue every year.

If taken early in the growing season this analysis combined with our expert interpretation will give growers peace of mind regarding the nutritional health of their crop.

BIOS Plant Tissue Analysis allows the grower to determine if the chosen fertiliser program is adequate and provides the opportunity to fine-tune the fertiliser inputs in the current season.

Predict nutrient problems before they cause production losses.
