About Us:

Dual Chelate Fertilizer Pty Ltd is a speciality fertilizer manufacturing company, specialising in advanced plant nutrition and using patented technology. Our business started in Robinvale, Victoria, servicing Almond orchards and vineyards in the region. Dual Chelate Fertilisers has slowly expanded its operations and team with a strong vision and set goals. It has several warehouses and purpose built manufacturing facilities. In early 2020 Dual Chelate Fertilisers (DCF) built a very large warehouse in the Port Adelaide area. DCF has just finished the construction of a large warehouse in western New South Wales at Forbes and in 2026 will have another manufacturing plant in Bundaberg Queensland.

We work with leading universities and scientists worldwide (including Australia, USA and Asia) to understand the most efficient technologies to transport nutrients into plants, and in translocation of different nutrients within plants where nutrient corrections are required. As a result of our extensive research and development work, we have been able to combine several advanced nutrient technologies together to introduce highly efficient Dual Chelation Technology. With this technology, organically derived fertilizer products are generally used – towards a healthier & sustainable future.
