Soil Scientist Gordon Rajendram (PhD) supports farms in achieving the correct soil and mineral balance to grow healthy pasture, crops and animals. He brings practical expertise and science-backed insight to every farm, helping systems operate more efficiently, sustainably and profitably.

Dr Gordon Rajendram also carries out independent field trials under real farming conditions to test what genuinely works on farm. The results provide clear, practical insights farmers and agribusinesses can trust when making informed decisions.
