Crop Schedules

Eight SKUs, mapped to the Australian growing calendar.

Browse per-crop programs by growth stage. Each schedule specifies which SKU, how many capsules, what water rate, and at which BBCH window — drawn from SRT field manuals and adapted to Australian soil orders.

The Operational Footprint

Why one gram beats five litres — three numbers the CFO actually cares about.

The case for encapsulated biology is not just biological — it is logistical. Mass, labour, and freight are the three lines on a station's spreadsheet where the capsule format earns its keep, measurably, against the liquid inoculant it displaces.

Mass grams per hectare
5,000× lighter
SPANEX bio-capsule
1 g
Liquid biofertilizer (≈5 L/ha)
5,000 g

A single 1 g HPMC capsule, lyophilised at 10¹² CFU, replaces approximately 5 L of conventional liquid inoculant per hectare. The dose travels in an envelope, not a drum.

Labour minutes per hectare (handling + application)
~3× less handling
SPANEX bio-capsule
4 min
Liquid biofertilizer
12 min

Soak once, mix once, apply once. No agitator, no refrigerated stock check, no second pass — a measurable saving on labour-constrained stations.

Freight tonne-kilometres per hectare
~1,000× lower
SPANEX bio-capsule (parcel post)
0.002 t·km
Liquid biofertilizer (refrigerated road freight)
2.50 t·km

Mass × distance from factory to farm. The capsule format moves a year's worth of inoculation in a parcel; liquids move in pallets and tankers — and need a cold chain.

Comparison basis · SPANEX bio-capsule (1 g, 10¹² CFU lyophilised) versus a representative liquid microbial inoculant at ~5 L/ha. Labour figures include cold-chain handling, agitation, and tank-mix preparation. Freight figures use product mass × representative Australian factory-to-farm distance for each format.
