PASTURE & DAIRY
Teeming with beneficial biology, remineralise soils for healthy stock with BioGraze, PhosBio
BIOGRAZE INCLUDES BOTH A QUICK & SLOW RELEASE PHOSPHORUS
A mix of soluble phosphorus for a quick response and slow-release phosphorus for sustained pasture growth. Plus calcium, sulfur and trace elements essential essential stock health, soil fertility and balanced pasture growth. The nutrient uptake technology will maximise return on your investment. The advanced technology in BioGraze is based on the bonding capability of humic which delivers improved phosphorus availablity, reducing P lock-up.

Essential trace elements are included for their importance to stock health and optimal pasture productivity.
Reduce phosphorus lock-up. The bonding capacity of humic with phosphorus & other nutrients keeps them plant available. Improving your return on fertiliser investment.
Introduce and stimulate beneficial microbial activity in the root zone (rhizosphere), promoting beneficial biological processes: Phosphorus solubolisation, nitrogen fixation, growth hormone production and residue cycling.
A mix of soluble phosphorus for a quick response and slow-release phosphorus for long lasting P delivery and sustained pasture growth.
NutriMAX PhosBio
Ideal for use in all crops where soil phosphorus levels need building or maintaining.
Rapid improvement in soil structure, organic carbon, nutrient availability and stimulate soil biological activity.
- A colloidal calcium phosphate that can never lock up, in stark contrast to all other phosphate sources.
- This exceptional fertiliser includes 7% phosphorus, 17% calcium, 18% silica, 9% Humic and a rich lode of trace elements.
- A microbe-friendly bio-phosphate, which is an integral part of our soil carbon regeneration program.
- This is one of the few phosphate sources that doesn’t have problems with the heavy metal cadmium, becoming plant available much faster than reactive rock phosphates.
- Humic acids and included beneficial biology support nutrients to become part of the soil solution and chemical activity. This increases its dispersion in the soil and levels of chemical bonding with nutrients, keeping more nutrients
plant available. Leading to further plant access of stored /locked up soil minerals. - Build water holding capacity and nutrient availability.

Three Year Pasture Trial at Avenue Range SA
- On-farm trial shows benefit of biological fertiliser with increased
production in short and long term - Biological paddock had more friable soils with faster water
infiltration rates - Higher-quality pastures support higher stocking rates with more
grazing days - Over 3 years the biological paddock had increased grazing days
with an average DSE 132,333.3 and Conventional DSE 131,149.3.
The conventional paddock was 10ha larger; over three years
the biological paddock had a higher average DSE on 10 less
hectares. - Weight Gains Graph: Cattle entered paddocks within a 5kg
starting range, they were run at 17 DSE for 53 days and weight
gains recorded.
Egremont Pastoral Co. Lucindale SA
“When there is a significant rainfall it soaks in more quickly and in the dry months pasture stays green for longer, extending our growing season. The pastures and Lucerne have better resilience to red legged earth mite and grasshoppers. The insects are present in the dry matter on the ground but the pastures are not being affected. Soil analyses show the past trend toward acidic soils is reversing. Five years ago soil pH was below ideal, from 4.7 – 5.9; recently soil pH results were closer to the ideal range from 5.3 – 6.9. There has also been a increasing trend in soil organic carbon levels, which aligns with farm benefits to water efficiency and extended growing season.”
Customised Biograze blends are available. Include potassium, trace elements and other minerals according to soil analysis and pasture production needs. Available in bulk and 1T Bulka Bags ex Naracoorte SA
Poor Soils: Salt affected / Compaction
BioGraze can be customised to assist soil remediation. BioGraze CS is formulated with additional humic, calcium and sulfur. This combination, along with the benefits of BioGraze, is designed for soil affected by high salt and/or compaction. Talk to your local Area Manager or distributor for specific soil and pasture requirements.
Establishing New Pasture
Apply SureCROP VAM seed dressing with BioGraze applications. SureCROP VAM is formulated with essential nutrients for germination and root growth; Phosphorus, Zinc, Silica & Calcium. Plus biological technology (VAM Fungi) will setup mutually beneficial plant root and soil interactions. This advanced application of fungi increases the soil volume accessed by plant roots (more water and nutrients), resulting in improved germination, pasture growth and resilience.
Talk to your local Area Manager or distributor for specific soil and pasture requirements based on soil analysis information.

LawrieCo 6 Steps
LawrieCo’s Soil Carbon Regeneration System Incorporates biological applied science and regenerative bio fertilisers. It’s the science that makes building soil carbon possible.
LawrieCo’s passion for rebuilding soil carbon dates back to prior to the formation of LawrieCo as a company. Back to the days when the ‘R&D’ to farm sustainably and to build fertility happened on Adrian Lawrie’s broadacre cropping property on the edge of the Flinders Ranges. At this early stage the key drivers for rebuilding soil carbon were its value in building fertility, water-use efficiency and it’s link to improved farm gross margins.
Our 22+ years of Research and Product Development has culminated in a suite of products that support soil carbon regeneration whilst maintaining / boosting the productivity of your enterprise.
Our carbon crediting program is world class connecting growers with rigorous the Federal Government Emission Reduction Fund, ensuring the viability of credits issued.
