Products: superten
What is superten?
Superten is a single superphosphate, the fertiliser traditionally regarded as having most benefited New Zealand agriculture. Ballance superten is made from premium rock from Morocco. This is imported to Ballance's three manufacturing sites, where it is finely ground and treated with sulphuric acid before being granulated, cured and distributed.
Why choose superten?
The superten range of products has been designed specifically for the farmer looking for high performance and value for money. The P in superten is readily soluble in the soil environment, so is rapidly available to meet plant nutrient needs. Superten also supplies sulphur (S) and calcium (Ca), and can be blended with potassium (K) to meet individual requirements.
