Attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth from Western Australia help farmers and poultry growers maximise fertiliser efficiency, retain soil moisture, and protect stored grain and feed — all with locally sourced, reliable minerals.

As winter crop sowing gets underway across Australia's grain belts, farmers are contending with elevated diesel costs, volatile imported fertiliser prices, and the growing risk of global supply chain disruption. This article explores how two Western Australian minerals — attapulgite clay (AgriFix 102 & 103) and diatomaceous earth — can reduce import dependency and support crop production through soil conditioning, fertiliser enhancement, agrochemical carrier applications, and

Australian farmers can optimise crop production this sowing season with AgriFix 102 & 103 attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth. Improve fertiliser efficiency, soil health, and sustainable agrochemical applications while sourcing locally.

Australian fertiliser manufacturers, distributors and grain storage operators are exposed to serious import dependency risk. Here's how local attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth fixes it. Australia imports the fertiliser inputs it doesn't need to. With geopolitical risk rising and freight costs elevated, local minerals are no longer just an alternative — they're the smarter supply chain decision.

The tide is turning: Hudson Resources demonstrates how attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth provide safe, natural alternatives to chemical-based products. From ammonia and odour control in pets and livestock to industrial filtration and fertiliser applications, these mineral powders deliver transparent, eco-friendly, and scientifically proven solutions.

During geopolitical uncertainty, oil price spikes, and inflation, essential industries like human & animal health, agriculture, and industrial applications rely on attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth. Hudson Resources provides reliable Australian and Asia Pacific mineral supply for continuity and resilience.

Australia’s fight against invasive fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) has relied heavily on chemical pesticides, raising environmental and ecological concerns. Natural minerals like Hudson G2 attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth (DE) offer a safer, low-impact alternative, reducing chemical use, protecting waterways, and supporting sustainable pest management. Hudson Resources supports research and trials to ensure effectiveness, environmental safety, and long-term ecological p

Hudson Resources mines and supplies high-quality attapulgite clay from Western Australia’s Lake Nerramyne deposit. Manufacturers in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific can access raw ore or processed mineral from Hudson Marketing for industrial applications including drilling fluids, catalyst supports, specialty powders, and absorbents. Quality, traceability, and certainty of supply make Hudson attapulgite clay an ideal feedstock for advanced manufacturing.

Attapulgite (palygorskite clay) is a versatile natural mineral with high adsorption, absorption properties, driving demand across Asia Pacific industries. From drilling fluids in oil and gas to soil conditioners, fertilizer carriers, and animal feed binders, attapulgite plays a vital role in agriculture, industrial, environmental, and specialty applications. Australian deposits, including Hudson Resources’ Lake Nerramyne attapulgite, provide premium-grade clay for export acro
