FERTILISER QUALITY COUNCIL
At last, an all-encompassing fertiliser website
The Fertiliser Quality Council (FQC) has recently updated its website and has just incorporated the Groundspreaders as
an integral part of the FQC site.
Executive Director, Kevin Geddes, said that the site now contained everything a farmer needed to know about fertiliser
and its application.
“Just by clicking on buttons farmers can find a list of ethical Fertmark tested fertilisers, the nearest store to
provide the product and a list of Spreadmark accredited ground and aerial spreaders,” Kevin Geddes said “The entire
process can now be completed in just minutes.
“In addition farmers can download DVD presentations such as ‘Four Steps to Sustainable Farming,’ and also presentations
from the 2009 Massey Fertiliser and Lime Research Centre conference.
“There is also a news section where farmers can get up to the minute information and they can also link to the
fertiliser companies, Federated Farmers, Fertresearch, the Fertiliser and Lime Research Centre and the Ballance Farm
Environment Trust
“We have tried for a long time to get an all embracing site where farmers can get all the information they need on
fertiliser and its application. We believe we have now achieved just that,” he said.
