Best for soil, best for budget


i-Fert provides an independent, science-led fertiliser consulting service that is grounded in solid, practical on-farm knowledge. We understand the commercial realities of farming and focus on getting the best production gains for your available budget.

Our consulting service is made up of five parts: GPS mapping, physical on-farm assessment, soil & plant diagnostics, animal dietary reporting and recommendations for your prescription fertiliser programme.

GPS Mapping

At i-Fert, we use the latest mapping software to isolate land use capability, drainage, soil classification and soil series properties before we set foot on your property.

Physical On-Farm Assessment

i-Fert conducts a physical examination on-farm to gain a clear insight into soil, pasture, and animal health. Taking the time to understand the farm history paints a picture of past land use, fertiliser inputs and key animal health or production issues.

Soil and plant diagnostics

Soil & Plant Diagnostics


Our Soil & Plant Diagnostics service clearly identifies deficiencies in nutrients and trace elements that limit production. Thorough testing gives i-Fert partners empirical data and a solid foundation on which to build their fertiliser programme. In short, our service is the opposite of a ‘hit and hope’ mentality.

We offer Soil & Plant Diagnostics both as a standalone service and as a key part of our comprehensive fertiliser consultancy.

Animal Dietary Reporting

Fertiliser is such a major capital cost that farmers deserve to be 100% sure that they’re going to get a return on their investment. We systematically assess the needs and actual diet of livestock to optimise nutrition and ensure healthier, more productive land.

Prescription Fertiliser Programmes

At i-Fert, we focus on developing customised fertiliser programmes in a three-year rotation to deliver nutrients in the easiest form for rapid plant uptake. We recommend the best combination of fertilisers to meet your production goals — from traditional fertiliser to higher efficiency fertilisers and custom-made compound fertilisers.

At i-Fert we invest a lot of time up front to make sure that we accurately identify and prioritise all the limiting factors for production. Once we get that right, everything works from that baseline.
