Welcome to the Fertiliser Technology Research Centre

The Fertiliser Technology Research Centre (FTRC) is a University of Adelaide Research Centre located within the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine. The FTRC focuses on the understanding of fundamental processes controlling fertiliser efficiency in a wide range of soils globally, using a combination of spectroscopic, speciation and radio-isotopic techniques. The Centre manages and conducts experimental work under laboratory, glasshouse and field conditions to develop more effective fertiliser formulations to optimise their efficiency.
