Sechura RPR stands out as New Zealand’s most soluble imported Reactive Phosphate Rock, boasting a remarkable Citric Solubility rating exceeding 40%. This distinction positions it as not only New Zealand’s but also the world’s premier RPR. Unlike many imported RPRs struggling to meet the minimum Fertmark industry requirement of 30% solubility, Sechura RPR offers farmers a quick and consistent response, especially when combined with high-quality elemental Sulphur.
Imported directly from Peru, Sechura RPR occurs naturally as a fine sand, remaining untouched and unprocessed. As a marine deposit, it naturally contains a rich array of essential trace elements, including P, S, K, Na, and Ca. Remarkably, each tonne of Sechura RPR contains 26% Calcium, providing a liming effect equivalent to half a tonne of lime per application.
Recent trials conducted by various individuals and institutions have conclusively demonstrated that blending Sechura RPR with fine elemental Sulphur surpasses the performance of Superphosphate in terms of on-farm dry matter production. With higher product analysis, significant savings are realized in freight and application costs. Moreover, Sechura RPR can be custom blended with other elements, particularly Sulphur, allowing for precise adjustments tailored to specific agricultural needs.
Anecdotal feedback from clients utilizing Sechura RPR consistently highlights marked increases in clover content within their pastures. This observation underscores the indispensable role of clover as a natural nitrogen fixer in soil fertility.
