2 The ultimate fertilizer coatin g The ultimate fertiliser coating FertiCoat applied to fertilisers: Improves fertiliser efficiency Reduces nutrient lockup Reduces leaching Improves yield In the current economic environment, growers are continuously pressured to maximise yield and optimise inputs. Fertiliser and its efficiency play a major role within these practices. It is therefore important to maximise the efficiency of applied fertiliser. Omnia has developed an effective, easy to apply, coating product to increase fertiliser use efficiency. To avoid this, can be used as a coating onto granular planting fertiliser, Urea or mixed with UAN. It complexes with phosphorous and keep it from being fixed in the soil by unfavourable elements. This makes the applied nutrients more plant available and therefore increases its efficiency and results in increased yields. Nutrients like phosphorous can become fixed in the soil and unavailable for crop growth. In low ph soils this occurs due to Al and Fe fixing phosphorous and in high ph soils calcium, magnesium and bicarbonates tie up available phosphorous. Omnia has researched over three years and has proven it to be a superior coating product. International sheng@omnia.net.au info@omnia.com.au New Zealand info@omnia.net.nz

3 Application Rates Granular Fertiliser rates APPLICATION RATE: DRY RATES 5-8 LITRES PER TONNE MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Use spray nozzles to spray onto fertiliser in Auger/ blender/ coating drum to ensure good coverage of granules and allow for drying before bagging the fertiliser. Do not apply to fertilisers containing more than 70% nitrates. If the fertiliser is blended with a fertiliser containing more than 70% nitrates, do not apply. If applied to fertilisers containing 45-70% nitrates, the together with any combustibles should not exceed 0.4%. If a fertiliser is blended with any fertiliser containing 45-70% nitrates, the together with any other combustibles should not exceed 0.4%. Liquid Fertilizer rates APPLICATION RATE: 30 L FERTICOAT PER 1000L UAN MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Boomspray mixing order Concentrate Mixing 1. Water UAN Always add UAN to (put in container first). NOTE: is NOT compatible with acidic solutions including many herbicides and trace elements. Jar testing is recommended.

6 Pasture trial results Dairy, South Western Victoria, 2010, 2 Locations (4 Replications each) Treatment (100 kg Urea/ha) Control - Untreated Coated Urea (5 L / MT) Yield (DM kg/day/ha) % Increase DM Increase (kg/day/ha) % Expected Extra MS Production* (kg/day/ha) * Using a factor of 1 kg of Milk per 1 kg pasture DM intake. (1kg DM = 40 g MS) This data suggests that a single application of fertiliser that is effective for 4 weeks would increase milk solid production by an extra 3.66 kg. At $5.52/kg, this amounts to $20/ha additional revenue. At a cost of $3.5/ha, the Return on Investment for is about 4.7 times the expenditure. The quantified trial on grazing pasture correlates with the cereal data and shows that pastoralists are expected to gain similar benefits from through improved pasture dry matter and crop rotation schedules. This should result in improved milk production.

UAN applied as a foliar has the tendency to burn foliage under unfavourable conditions. Adding to the foliar mix, not only decreases the burn effect but also increases the nitrogen uptake by the plant. This benefit from humic acids which are included in has been proven on lettuce.
