The present invention relates to a method for determining the responsiveness of an area of grazed forage to one or more nutrients, a pasture sensor for determining the responsiveness of an area of grazed forage to one or more nutrients and/or the use of the sensor and/or the method to generate a prescription for the application of one or more chemicals to the area of grazed forage. The present invention further or alternatively relates to a method of applying one or more nutrients to an area of grazed forage and/or a method of applying nitrogen fertiliser to an area of grazed forage. In particular, the invention makes use of excrement/urine patch(s) to determine the potential responsiveness of the area of grazed forage to the one or more nutrients.
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing phosphate fertiliser that comprises dicalcium phosphate comprising providing milled phosphorus-containing rock having a total phosphorus content of at least about 15% P by weight, mixing the milled phosphate-containing rock with a mineral acid in a reaction vessel to produce a superphosphate product, and mixing the superphosphate product with a calcium-source reverting agent and a magnesium-source reverting agent to produce a reverted product, the calcium-source reverting agent comprising at least about 20% by weight of the total reverting agent of calcium oxide with a calcium carbonate equivalence of at least about 134%, and the magnesium-source reverting agent providing a magnesium source and comprising at least about 20% by weight of the total reverting agent of magnesium source with a calcium carbonate equivalence of at least about 80%, to produce a granulated cured reverted product having a product yield of at least about 1.90 or a product yield of at least about 1.77 and a moisture content of less than 3%.
