Grown from the ground up

Growth Agriculture has been manufacturing, exporting and distributing agricultural products since 1992 - building a focused portfolio around foliar nutrition and Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

We're a small Queensland company with a straightforward belief: Australian producers deserve partners who actually understand the land, not just the product catalogue.

Our philosophy

Sustainable and environmentally acceptable agriculture practices are at the forefront of everything we do. We aim to develop products that enhance food and fibre production while protecting the land for future generations.

Our objectives

We proactively seek out innovations that aid in environmentally acceptable production, source products that maintain or improve land management practices, and provide growers with the information they need to succeed.

Who we work with

From the paddock to the distribution network - our products, data, and people are available to support you at every level.

Long-Term Trials

Liquid Blood & Bone as a partial nitrogen replacement

Intensive agriculture has become reliant on synthetic inputs such as Urea. The effect of these traditional fertilisers on soil biology can be detrimental - and costly to reverse.

Our long-term field research into B&B Superfine as a biological partial nitrogen replacement demonstrates improved soil biology, competitive yields, and reduced long-term input costs.

Collaborative Science

Research partnerships & institutional collaboration

Our R&D is conducted alongside some of the world's most reputable scientists from industry-leading institutions. We believe in transparent, independent, replicable research - and sharing those results with growers and agronomists who need them.

10,000 years of feeding the soil

From the first handful of ash on a Neolithic plot to a paddock of B&B Superfine, the story of fertiliser is a long conversation with the ground. Fourteen milestones, four eras, one unbroken thread - ending here in Goondiwindi.

Ash, middens and the first farms

In Neolithic Mesopotamia, crops planted where hearth-fires burned or kitchen scraps piled up grow taller. Humanity starts returning carbon and minerals to the soil.

Manure enters the rotation

Once animals are domesticated, dung is carted back to cropping ground — the oldest deliberate fertiliser on record.

Annual Nile floods deposit mineral-rich silt across the valley — the first industrial-scale proof that minerals, not just manure, matter.

Vast cliffs of fossilised seabird droppings off Peru — 15% nitrogen and high in phosphorus — become one of the most valuable cargoes on the high seas.

Superphosphate: the first manufactured fertiliser

John Bennet Lawes treats crushed bones with sulphuric acid, producing soluble phosphate fertiliser. The Rothamsted patent marks the beginning of the industrial fertiliser industry.

Liebig's Law of the Minimum

Justus von Liebig proves plant growth is limited by whichever nutrient is in shortest supply. Fertiliser becomes a diagnostic problem: find what the soil lacks, give it exactly that.

The return of the biological

As synthetic-reliant soils show salinity and microbial collapse, growers turn back to biologicals, humic acids, and foliar nutrition. Fertiliser becomes something you feed to the microbes, not just the plant.
