Broadacre Agriculture

Profeng has developed the largest and most comprehensive range of agricultural adjuvants available in Australia for broadacre agriculture.

The exclusive product range includes:

• Herbicides
• Fungicides
• Insecticides
• Wetting agents (spreaders)
• Penetration aids
• Retention agents
• Activators
• Compatibility aids
• Buffers and water conditioners
• Marking foams

Research & Development

Research and development is a core strength and priority within Profeng. With a commitment to expanding the company’s product base, Profeng's investment into research and development typically exceeds 3% of company turnover.
Profeng maintains an active association with leading researchers around the world and is regularly seeking to evaluate new technology in the Australian environment. Profeng also works co-operatively with local research and development organisations to help commercialise some of the excellent technology that exists within those institutions. Further, Profeng also has a responsive development department that constantly modifies and develops products to satisfy various opportunities and requests generated by its customers.
Extensive investigation in the laboratory is followed by independent glass house trials. Finally localised in-crop field trials are carried out by respected independent agronomists. Products are then submitted for registration by the relevant local authorities. In this way Profeng's customers can be confident they are using products that are both reliable and highly effective.
