BIOLOGICAL FARMING
healthier soils + healthier grass = beef that is good for you
The Dunnet family has a firm belief in biological farming methods which address soil health before anything else. Biological farming works with the natural systems and processes to build optimal soil, plant and animal health whilst also incorporating the best of conventional farming methods to maintain production levels and quality. Ultimately it also looks for outcomes in food nutrition and improved ecosystems. Biological farming is a viable way of producing high quality nutritious produce without the use of large quantities of conventional fertilisers and pesticides or the use of GM modification.
On Farm Practices – based on scientific, measurable principles.
Balancing soil minerals using scientific tests on microbial activity and chemical analysis.Applying soil conditioners to build soils structure, biology and nutrient availability.Adding humates, liquid humic acid to conventional fertilisers to improve efficiency and root growth.Liquid injection of nutrition and living biologyApplying nutritional and biological seed dressings for optimal germinationApplying foliar nutrition – not just nitrogen to build yield and quality potential whilst reducing pest and disease risk.Applying specific fungi to plant residues to build soil carbon and available nutrients
