Pardo Farms are a family owned company farming avacado, citrus, table grapes and rock melons. Pardo Farms are very diverse like many of the family owned companies in Australia. They have been growing rock melons on a commercial size now for seven seasons and supply there rockmelons to the local markets and supermarket chains.

                   "We have been using products on the Aurora product list for a number of years now but up until last year we had still used technical fertilsier as our base. This year we decided to go away from old fertiliser techneques and started using our own Aurora blends unique to us. The results have been astonishing to say the least."

                   "We found that by using the liquids we were putting out between 20% - 40% less units of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magneisum with out sacrificing quality in fact growing better fruit then we have seen in the previous six seasons. We were also getting no sediment in the bottom of the fertigation tank or in the bottom of the drums the Aurora product is sold in."

                   "Previous to using the Aurora liquids fertigation was a huge issue with time restraints and effectiveness of product. We have now perfected our rates of all of our Aurora products and can see the reward in the fruit qualiy and in the time saved with fertigating much quicker. The products we used this season also gave us the oportunity to get through hot spells with out the loss of crop integrity like we would normally see." Joseph Pardo, Director -Pardo Farms
