Fertiliser Technology Research Centre

The Fertiliser Technology Research Centre was established in 2007 via a partnership between The University of Adelaide and The Mosaic Company. The scope of the centre was further expanded in 2009 via a  partnership between The Mosaic Company and Australian Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). The centre has expertise in soil chemistry, fertiliser technology and plant nutrition. Specifically, in developing novel fertiliser formulations, advanced isotopic and spectroscopic investigations of fertiliser efficiency, and field scale agronomy trials.
