25.01.2022 Meet Russell, our dedicated ECTOL representative in Southern NSW and Victoria. In 2005 Russ lost nearly 90% of a 400-acre mixed and pome fruit orchard due to -4C late September frost. Research to find a frost protectant led him to ECTOL. After applying ECTOL Protect and Grow the following year, Russ fruit not only staved off temperatures of -3.5C, the quality was better and the surrounding grass was greener. Today, Russ enjoys meeting and sharing his knowledge from over 50 years of farming, including the smart science behind ECTOLs Plant & Crop Nutrients, helping farmers to reduce and remove chemical-inputs. Get in touch today to meet with Russ.

Nows the time to start thinking about protection against late frost and cold shock. #ECTOL Protect and Grow is a complex blend of natural biochemicals, critical to the protection of plant cells. It should be sprayed onto flowers and buds as soon as possible before the threat of spring frost events.
05.01.2022 ECTOL TESTIMONIAL: Jarrod and his family have been sheep farming for 30 years. Over the last 8 years, they've found success with #ECTOL and NutriSoil. We’ve been able to move to a more natural system and produce better quality, nutrient-dense feed, for a lower price. If we were not using ECTOL Plant & Crop Nutrients and Nutrisoil, we would likely be spending double the cost on synthetic fertilisers." Read the full story at ectol.com/testimonials
