About Us

Western Fertiliser Technology Pty Ltd is a Western Australian company established in 1991, and manufactures a modern range of liquid fertilisers for the broad-acre and horticultural industries. The company changed its name from Western Nutrients in September 1997.

The company operates in three segments:

Manufactures a full range of liquid fertilisers customised to the end user.
Manufactures a portable system of liquid fertiliser blending tanks (BLEND-Tech System) together with formulation advice for large-scale farmers and overseas fertiliser manufacturers for economical production of liquid fertilisers.

The managing director is Mr Ronald Elton-Bott who holds a degree in Applied Chemistry from the Western Australian Institute of Technology, now Curtin University of Technology. He majored in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, and completed a postgraduate diploma in Chemistry and project on vitamins. He also holds a diploma in Agricultural Technology from the Western Australian Institute of Agricultural Technology. Mr Elton-Bott worked as a chemist and research officer for many years at the Government Chemical Laboratories , now the Chemistry Centre of Western Australia. His extensive experience in nutrition and fertiliser chemical analysis during this time included an appointment as a private consultant chemist and agronomist in Seoul, Korea. Experience gained in large-scale manufacture of liquid fertilisers, and close liaison with Korean scientists from the Agriculture Department, in rice and vegetable nutrition, are key complements for the company.

The company's mission statement "We are dedicated to provide the best modern agricultural technology available to our customers" has enabled the company in moving forward, introducing new technologies for agriculture in Western Australia. Western Fertiliser Technology Pty Ltd was the first to introduce the Grain Analysis System, the BLEND-Tech manufacturing system for liquid fertilisers; liquid lime; and on-furrow application of liquid nitrogen-sulphur and trace elements.
