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%.

The present invention provides fertiliser compositions comprising granules of urea and plant hormone, such as gibberellic acid or a salt thereof, in addition to methods of manufacturing and using such compositions and granules, for example for improving plant health and production, such as treating the soil of pastoral land to increase pasture production.
A vehicle trailerable, or otherwise moveable or advancable, over the ground, the vehicle carrying an intake for water, a water heater for water received from the intake, a urea dissolving apparatus defining a chamber: (i) into which particulate urea can be gravity fed from above (ii) having an inlet for heated water from the gas heater, (iii) to define in use a dissolution zone for urea above solid urea such that, owing to urea content in the water at that zone, the urea is substantially no longer subject to dissolution or is subject to less severe dissolution, (iv) having a takeoff to provide in use a liquid stream of urea dissolved in water, the takeoff being at or below the dissolution zone, and a pumped reticulation apparatus to receive the liquid stream from the takeoff.
