UPTAKE Suspension Fertiliser
While traditional granular fertilisers remain a core part of many nutrient programmes, advances in agricultural science now make it possible to go further with suspension and foliar fertilisers offering a more efficient, targeted, and sustainable solution.
UPTAKE’S custom blended suspension fertilisers are scientifically formulated to deliver precise nutrient availability, support animal health, and minimise environmental losses. By addressing nutrient needs in combination (not isolation) including key trace elements often overlooked, UPTAKE helps unlock more value from every hectare.
With superior coverage, fine-particle delivery, and flexible application options including Tow and Fert, helicopter, and drone, UPTAKE fertilisers ensure even distribution and rapid uptake across all terrain and farm types.
These systems can be used alongside traditional granular fertiliser to enhance pasture performance, correct specific deficiencies, or respond to seasonal demands all while improving efficiency and reducing waste.
Make the shift to smarter nutrient delivery with UPTAKE and experience the difference in your soil, your stock, and your bottom line.
Smarter fertiliser for smarter farming.
Our Suspension Fertiliser blends are scientifically formulated to deliver maximum nutrient availability, improve animal health, and reduce environmental waste.
UPTAKE
Suspension Fertiliser
Granular fertilisers rely on soil moisture to dissolve and become plant-available, which can lead to uneven distribution, leaching, and nutrient lock-up in certain soil types.
UPTAKE’S Suspension Fertiliser remains in a semi-liquid state, allowing for:
Even distribution across all soil types, including clay-heavy and sandy soils.
Improved nutrient availability thanks to balanced chelation and pH stability.
Reduced losses to volatilisation or leaching, keeping nutrients where they belong.

UPTAKE Suspension Fertiliser is completely unique to your farm, based on your soil test results.
Targeted animal
health support:
Livestock health starts with the pasture. Deficiencies in trace elements like selenium, cobalt, and copper can silently erode productivity and reproductive performance.
UPTAKE includes 3 key animal health trace elements in every application, addressing common deficiencies that are often overlooked by granular blends.
Selenium – vital for immune function and fertility
Cobalt – essential for vitamin B12 synthesis in ruminants
Copper – supports bone growth and nerve health
By integrating animal health into our fertiliser strategy, we're helping farmers produce healthier pastures and stronger livestock, without the need for costly supplement
The brilliance of UPTAKE Suspension Fertiliser is the way it is mixed and applied on the farm. Fertiliser is mixed into a suspension and boomed sprayed by either aircraft, helicopter or truck-based applicators.
This allows the spreading of each needed nutrient, no matter how small the quantity, to cover each square metre of the farm. The ultra fine particle size of the nutrients in suspension penetrates into the soil profile, fast and evenly. The nutrients are readily available to the pasture plants and thus easily transferred to the animal.
Custom Suspension application:
The improved efficiency and evenness in the spread of fertiliser over the farm is dramatic. The end result is significant cost savings.
Don’t take our word for it.

Testimonial — John Scott, Dairy Farmer, Featherston
John Scott, a long-time dairy farmer from Featherston, has been working with Uptake Fertiliser since the mid-2000s, and says their suspension fertiliser has made a lasting difference to both his pasture performance and herd health.
“We’ve used Uptake’s custom suspension fertiliser for years now, and the results have been really consistent,” says John. “It’s helped us grow more grass, improve animal health, and reduce animal health costs across the herd.”
John applies Uptake’s products himself using his own Tow and Fert machine, giving him full control over timing and coverage while saving on both time and application costs. It also allows John to apply other fertilisers in combination with Uptakes suspension fertiliser.
“Having my own application setup means I can get product on when I need to, it’s efficient and cost-effective,” he explains. “The suspension system goes on evenly and gets results you can see in the paddock.”
Since partnering with Uptake, John has noticed stronger, more resilient pastures and healthier animals — leading to consistent milk production year after year.
After nearly two decades of results, John is clear in his recommendation:
“I’d absolutely recommend Uptake Fertiliser to other dairy farmers,” he says. “Their products do exactly what they say, they grow better grass, keep your cows healthier, and help you get more from your land.”
