Cane Grower Testimonial

Friday 9 June 2017

Danny Pantovic, a cane grower in Kennedy, North Queensland is delighted with the results of using Ozcal. The picture shows Q232 – 8 months first Ratoon that used the blend 141s @ 620 kgs/ha plus Ozcal 125 kgs/ha. Here is what Danny (pictured left) had to say:

“Ozcal allows ease of lime application and at my preferred timing without a contractor. Blending Ozcal with my fertiliser means a one pass operation saving valuable time. I see results in my cane by applying my crops requirements for lime annually and Ozcal allows this to be possible.

I believe broadcast application of ag lime is a waste of time as the acidity issue is directly where Nitrogen fertilisers are applied let alone expecting one ag lime application to last a five year crop cycle. The majority of my farm’s plant and ratoon cane blocks is being treated with Ozcal blends.”

Standing next to Danny is Rod Trost from Landmark, Tully. Here is what Rod had to say:

“Growers in Tully have taken advantage of Ozcal  to apply low rates of lime annually to keep a consistent soil pH and Calcium supply to the crop. Our clients like the choice of straight Ozcal application or blends with their normal fertiliser products.”
