Expanded Agronomy Team For Bio Dunder

Wilmar AgServices has bolstered its agronomic services with the addition of a third agronomist to the team. Drew McGilchrist, a respected Mackay agronomist with more than 20 years' experience, joined Wilmar AgServices in June. He joins Dev Chalise, a certified practising soil scientist with a PhD, and Marc Tanizar, who graduated from the University of Queensland's Gatton Campus last year with a Master's in Agricultural Science.

AgServices Business Manager David Parker said the decision to expand the business's agronomy resources was driven by ongoing conversations with Bio Dunder customers who wanted to make more informed decisions about fertiliser.

"Our customers are trying to use fertiliser smarter by being strategic about application timings," he said.

"They're also very interested in their soils and the benefits that Bio Dunder brings to soil health compared to other products in the market."

He added that the team members are well qualified to do soil testing, provide information on soil science, and assist with Bio Dunder pricing and recommendations.
