Guarantee of Quality

We use third parties to conduct product analyses and research trials. Our Guarantee of Quality is backed by an 15-month free replacement warranty*, subject to proper storage, mixing, and application procedures are being followed.
*Improper use and/or storage, as per label instructions, voids the warranty. Product must be stored out of direct sun light within a temperature range of 5 – 35°C. Warranty is limited to the cost of the product and may be satisfied by free replacement of defective product, a credit note or refund (at the discretion of Active AgriScience Inc).
Our Process
Active AgriScience product research is conducted by independent, third-party research groups in Australia and North America.
This process verifies the efficacy of our fertilisers resulting in innovative products that allows growers to improve production, quality and profits while reducing the impact on the environment.
Our Products
Boost farm production and profits with Active AgriScience seed treatments, foliar fertilisers, and nitrogen stabilisers. Our nitrogen stabiliser technology inhibits both ammonia volatilisation, nitrification and denitrification, potentially reducing nitrogen loss from applied fertiliser by 95%. Our liquid fertilisers help improve germination, support early growth, maximize pollination, and enhance the yield potential of your crop.
Seed Treatments
Improve germination, root growth, and protect seeds from unfavourable environmental conditions with our seed treatments.
Nitrogen Stabilisers
Our nitrogen stabilisers protect your investment by inhibiting all forms of nitrogen loss from applied urea and UAN fertiliser.
Foliar Nutrients
