Description
Eco-Prime Red is a specialised establishment and root‑building fertiliser developed to deliver reliable nutrition during early growth stages. It combines mineral‑based NPK derived from potassium sulphate and granulated soft rock phosphate with humates, silicate minerals, and Eco Advance® Premium Biology to activate soil function and nutrient uptake.
The elevated phosphorus content supports rapid root initiation, improved germination, and early plant establishment. Mycorrhizal fungi and phosphorus‑solubilising bacteria, including Bacillus megaterium, work with phytohormone‑producing biology to increase nutrient availability and root efficiency in both turf and productive plants.
Eco-Prime Red performs consistently in sandy, coastal, and variable Western Australian soils. It builds a dense, resilient root system that improves water efficiency, stress tolerance, and long‑term plant performance without excessive top growth.

How To Use Eco-Prime Red
Eco-Prime Red applies easily and delivers best results when incorporated correctly and watered in thoroughly after application.
- Spread evenly across soil to ensure uniform nutrient distribution
- Lightly rake into soil for new turf and seedbed preparation
- Water thoroughly after application to activate nutrients and biology
Application Rate Summary
Correct application rates ensure effective establishment and avoid nutrient stress.
- New turf underlay: 10 kg per 100 m² incorporated into soil before laying turf
- Newly laid lawn: 50 g per m² every 6–8 weeks
- Repairing existing lawn: 35 g per m² every 6–8 weeks
- Vegetables: 50–150 g per m²
- Fruit trees: 50 g per m² around the drip line
- Vines and wine grapes: 35 g per m²
Eco-Prime Red applies through most modern spreaders. Due to humus content, calibration checks are recommended. Belt spreaders suit precision applications.
Precautions
Responsible application ensures consistent results and protects plants and surrounding areas.
- Apply evenly to avoid patchy growth or nutrient concentration
- Remove granules from hard surfaces before watering
- Avoid application near waterways and drainage areas
- Water in thoroughly after application
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight
- Keep away from children and pets until fully watered into the soil
Suitable For
Eco-Prime Red suits a wide range of residential and light commercial applications requiring strong root establishment.
- New lawns and turf establishment
- Lawn repair and sward strengthening
- Vegetables and garden beds
- Fruit trees including citrus and avocados
- Vines, ornamentals, and productive gardens
