Research & Development

The founders of SLTEC have been conducting R&D into both fluid fertilizer technology and alternative renewable fertilizer inputs since January 2000.

We have reviewed product technology from around the world and our consultants based in Europe and working in the Americas, Asia and New Zealand have identified several new approaches to crop nutrition and soil fertility management.

As a company we are committed to investing heavily into R&D and are working towards offering a new and innovative range of sustainable and renewable fertilizer and crop protection products in the years ahead.

Our policy involves communicating our research findings through our dedicated dealer team to the market place. If you would like to know more about our historical or current R&D activities contact us for more information.
