The i-Fert Difference
Independent advice. Built around your farm.
i-Fert begins with the evidence from your farm, not with a predetermined product. We are not tied to any fertiliser brand or supplier, so we can recommend the nutrients, products and programme that best fit the needs identified through testing and assessment on the farm.

Your farm comes first.
The recommendation follows the evidence.
1
Understand the farm.
We discuss your goals, management, production system and current concerns, then assess conditions in the field.
2
Build the evidence.
Every client receives a comprehensive assessment of the chemical, physical and biological aspects of the soil and plant system. The specific soil, herbage and laboratory analyses are selected according to the farm type, field observations and the farmer’s goals.
3
Interpret the whole picture.
Laboratory results are considered alongside field observations, production information and practical farming experience to identify the key factors constraining farm performance.
4
Recommend, monitor and review.
A farm specific three year programme is reviewed through annual chemical, physical and biological reassessment. At the end of each cycle, results are statistically analysed to evaluate change and shape the next three or five year programme.
When we started, Corey dug a square spade of soil and counted eight earthworms. A later count at the same monitored spot recorded 72, a ninefold increase.
