A typical nutrient analysis per tonne, as quoted by the RB209 guide:
| Dry Matter % | Total Nitrogen kg N/t | Total Phosphate kg P2Os/t | Total Potash kg k2O/t | Total Sulphur kg SO3/t | Total Magnesium kg MgO/t | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water Treatment cake | 25 | 2.4 | 3.4 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 0.8 |
Application rate depends on soil Phosphate index and cropping. An example application rate would be between 30- 50t/ha.
