GRANULOCK

IPF takes great pride in the trust growers and agronomists have placed in the Granulock brand

Why Compounds

  • Each granule of Granulock contains all the nutrients at equal rates, improving the uniformity of nutrient distribution in crops and reducing issues with nutrient segregation during transport or application.

  • The granules are uniformly sized for even spreader application, promoting even crop growth and produce quality.

  • With fewer fertiliser types to handle, storage and transportation become more straightforward, enhancing logistical efficiency.

    The convenience of applying multiple nutrients in a single fertiliser reduces the need for multiple applications and blends saving time and labor costs.

The Granulock Range

Granulock Z

Granulock Z’s precise uniformity of nutrient distribution ensures an even supply of zinc to every plant, at planting. It delivers the right combination of total nutrients to produce strong early root growth, vigorous establishment, healthy emergence and even crop growth.

Granulock SS

For sulphur-depleted soils, and crops and pastures with high sulphur demand, Granulock SS provides the quality and precise nutrition you count on from Granulock – plus the extra sulphur you need to avoid deficiencies.

Granulock Blue

Granulock Blue is a versatile NPKS compound fertiliser. It delivers uniform, targeted, balanced nutrition to maximise yield potential and quality in tree, vine and vegetable crops, and sugar cane. Granulock Blue also promotes vigour in floriculture ornamental plants and turf.

Something to Celebrate

We are pleased to extend the Granulock brand to the horticulture sector, introducing the Granulock Blue product. Already established and trusted by crop and pasture industries, Granulock SS and Granulock Z have earned a strong reputation with farmers. Now, with Granulock Blue, horticultural growers can also benefit from the reliability and quality that the Granulock brand is known for.

  • Granulock Z is particularly valuable for crop establishment in the following situations:

    • On alkaline or calcareous soils

    • When soils are wet and cold

    • Where there is a reduced population of arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) in the soil

    • Where sulphonylurea herbicides are used

    • On soils with a low total zinc status

  • Granulock Z is best applied in a band with or close to seed at planting, where new roots can easily access the nutrients.

    Granulock Z can be blended to create the exact nutrient ratios your soil test results indicate you need. Granulock Z blends can deliver a range of zinc analyses with good spatial distribution of this immobile nutrient compared to zinc sulphate blends.

  • Based on soil samples analysed by Nutrient Advantage Lab Services in 2023, around 17% of paddocks sampled from SA, Vic, NSW & Qld fall in the likely to respond, marginal or possibly responsive range at less than 0.5 mg/kg. While the commonly used zinc soil analysis (DTPA extraction) provides an indication of the likelihood of a zinc response, it is recommended that deficiency is verified using plant tissue analysis. While zinc deficiency is usually associated with alkaline soils, a number of zinc deficient cropping paddocks have been identified in recent years on soils with an acidic reaction. In most cases these paddocks had been limed more than once, had been continuously cropped for an extended period and often had windrow burning. If you suspect that you have paddocks that fall into this category, consider a soil & plant tissue analysis program. In addition fertiliser test strips with products like Granulock Z or a foliar zinc product may help to assess the likelihood of a zinc response.

Granulock SS

For sulphur-depleted soils, and crops and pastures with high sulphur demand, Granulock SS provides the quality and precise nutrition you count on from Granulock – plus the extra sulphur you need to avoid deficiencies.

  • Granulock SS is ideally suited for:

    • Canola, pulses and legume-based pastures with high sulphur demand

    • Crops grown on light sandy or granite-based soils prone to leaching

    • Soils depleted of sulphur by heavy rainfall, flooding or high crop yields

    • Starter fertiliser, applied while sowing

    • Top dressing established pastures early in season

    • As a starter fertiliser, applied while sowing

    • Top dressing established pastures early in season

    • With any typical farm equipment - airseeder, combine or spreader.

    • Granulock SS can be blended to create the exact nutrient ratios your soil test results indicate you need

  • The two distinct forms of sulphur in Granulock SS give plants both an extra early boost – and sustained delivery throughout the growing season.

    • Optimal plant establishment. The nitrate nitrogen and water-soluble form of the key nutrients included in Granulock Blue allow quick plant uptake for vigorous plant establishment.

    • Rapid Release with minimal moisture. For improved nutrient access the water-soluble nutrients are rapidly released into the soil following night dew or as little as 3mm of rain.

    • Reduced N losses through volatalisation. The favourable pH of the actual fertiliser granule coupled with having nitrogen present in the nitrate and ammonium forms, reduces the potential for volatilisation losses when Granulock Blue is surface-applied compared with urea blends.

    • Chloride-free potassium for crop safety. The potassium in Granulock Blue is free from chloride, making it ideal for use on salt-affected soils and in chloridesensitive crops such as avocados, lychees, longans, mangosteens, lettuce, beans, carrots, peas, onions and celery.

  • Provides uniform delivery of targeted, balanced nutrition to maximise yield potential and quality in tree, vine and vegetable crops, as well as sugar cane. Granulock Blue also promotes vigour in floriculture ornamental plants and turf

    • Early Spring: Apply Granulock Blue at the start of the growing season when plants require a nutrient boost for healthy root and shoot development.

    • Before Planting: Incorporate Granulock Blue into the soil before planting crops or seedlings to provide essential nutrients for initial growth.

    • Vegetative Growth Stage: Apply Granulock Blue during the vegetative growth phase to support leafy growth and overall plant vigour.

    • Flowering and Fruit Setting: As plants transition to the flowering and fruiting stages, continue to apply Granulock Blue to ensure adequate phosphorus and potassium for flower and fruit development.

    • Soil, Tissue and Sap Testing: Regularly conduct soil tests to monitor nutrient levels and adjust fertilizer applications based on specific crop needs and any nutrient deficiencies.
