Precision biological foliar powder for wheat, barley and canola.
Powered by Verdaris™ Formulation Technology
Applied across three key yield-forming windows, Verdara® Broadacre is designed to support broadacre crop performance from early growth through reproductive development and grain or seed fill across wheat, barley and canola.
Verdara® is built around Farmbright's proprietary Verdaris™ Formulation Technology — a process developed to concentrate, stabilise and enhance the delivery of a complex profile of natural plant growth compounds.
The Verdaris™ process uses controlled micronisation of the active botanical matrix and combines it with a proprietary bioavailability enhancement complex designed to support extraction, dispersion, leaf coverage and foliar delivery.
Verdara® is not a conventional foliar feed. It is a biological signal system designed to support the crop at the growth stages where yield potential is being formed.
Support cell division, early growth architecture, reproductive development and grain or seed-fill duration.
Provide immediately available biological building blocks that support protein synthesis and enzyme activity during rapid growth windows.
Zinc, iron and manganese in biologically active chelate form, supporting photosynthetic enzyme function and carbohydrate metabolism.
Supports root-to-shoot signalling, stomatal regulation and crop resilience during variable seasonal conditions.
Support cellular function during heat or moisture stress across the most yield-sensitive stages of the season.
Verdara® is not a raw plant powder or a crude botanical extract. Verdaris™ is our proprietary formulation system that transforms a high-activity botanical matrix into a practical broadacre foliar input — designed for real paddock conditions, standard spray equipment and commercial-scale crop programs.
Verdara® uses a precision-micronised botanical matrix processed to a controlled foliar-grade particle range. The increased surface area supports extraction during steeping, cleaner suspension, more consistent spray preparation and improved contact with the foliar surface.
A proprietary transport-support system designed to improve the movement and availability of active biological compounds during foliar application — helping the biological signal complex reach the canopy in a form the crop can use.
Foliar inputs must remain on the leaf long enough to be useful. Verdara® includes a natural leaf-coverage support system designed to improve wetting, spreading and adhesion — creating more uniform canopy contact and better opportunity for foliar uptake.
A proprietary dry-powder performance system designed to improve flowability, reduce clumping and support even dispersion during preparation. Field usability matters: a biological product cannot perform if it is difficult to handle, inconsistent to mix or unreliable at scale.
The formulation includes a proprietary activation-support system designed to create a more consistent steeping environment when growers prepare the spray solution — supporting extraction and availability of bioactive compounds before foliar application.
Each Verdara® Broadacre application is timed to a different yield-forming decision in the crop. The program is designed to support broadacre performance from early growth architecture, through reproductive development, and into grain or seed fill.
Wheat growth-stage example shown. Application timing for barley and canola may be adapted by crop, region and agronomic program.
6–8 weeks after establishment
Cytokinin and zeatin signalling, with amino acid support for early crop architecture and rapid vegetative development.
Supports canopy strength, productive growth and yield potential entering the reproductive phase.
Pre-flowering / reproductive transition
Amino acid and micronutrient support for reproductive development, flowering potential and yield site formation.
Supports reproductive strength and yield potential entering flowering, heading or pod-set stages.
Heading, flowering or early fill window
Zeatin-driven chlorophyll retention and biostimulant support for an extended active photosynthesis window.
Supports grain or seed fill, crop quality and final yield expression.
Add 1 kg Verdara® to 20–30 L clean water. Stir thoroughly. Leave 12–24 hours.
Pour through a 100–200 micron mesh filter or fine cloth into your spray tank. Discard residue.
Top up spray tank to 150–200 L per hectare application volume with clean water.
Apply as a foliar spray through standard boom spray equipment. Early morning application is preferred, below 25°C and in low-wind conditions. Apply within 4 hours of final mixing.
Verdara® is sold as a direct-purchase product. Growers buy the product, apply it through their own equipment, and retain all yield upside. Farmbright does not take a performance share on direct-purchase orders.
Broadacre scenarios are based on modelled wheat economics using a 2.89 t/ha base yield and grain prices of $350/t conservative, $360/t mid-range and $375/t strong. Actual results vary by crop, variety, yield potential, commodity price, season, soil, timing and farm management. All figures AUD. Forward-looking estimates only. ROI scenarios are calculated using the Verdara® Broadacre price of $95/ha excluding GST. GST is added to invoices where applicable. For GST-registered growers, GST is generally recoverable as an input tax credit and is not included in the modelled net gain calculation.

Verdara® Broadacre is a precision biological foliar powder for major broadacre crops, including wheat, barley and canola, powered by Farmbright's Verdaris™ Formulation Technology. It is applied at tillering, booting and heading / grain fill to support the crop during the growth windows that shape final yield.
Read the bioscienceNo. Verdara® Broadacre is not a raw plant powder or a crude botanical extract. It is a proprietary biological foliar input powered by Farmbright's Verdaris™ Formulation Technology. Its performance model depends on the full Farmbright system: controlled sourcing, precision micronisation, formulation enhancement, dry-powder stability, the steeping protocol, foliar delivery design and timed application across key yield-forming windows.
See the Verdaris™ systemVerdara® Broadacre is not positioned as a conventional foliar fertiliser. It is a biological foliar input designed to deliver a complex profile of plant growth compounds and biostimulant factors at key crop stages.
Verdara® Broadacre is available for direct purchase at $95 AUD per hectare excluding GST. GST is added where applicable. Growers buy the product, apply it through their own equipment and retain 100% of any yield gains.
Verdara® Broadacre is applied at a total seasonal rate of 3 kg per hectare, split across three 1 kg/ha applications. Farmbright supplies Verdara® in bulk formats suitable for broadacre use, including 20 kg bags, 200 kg drums, 400 kg FIBC and 800 kg FIBC.
Verdara® Broadacre is applied three times across the crop program. For wheat, the standard timing model is:
For barley and canola, timing may be adapted by crop, variety, region and agronomic program.
No. Verdara® Broadacre is designed to be applied through standard boom spray equipment. The product is prepared by steeping, filtering, diluting and applying as a foliar spray through existing farm equipment. No cold chain or specialist application infrastructure is required.
No. Verdara® Broadacre targets 15–25% yield uplift in the current broadacre wheat model, but this is not a guarantee. Actual results vary by crop, variety, soil type, climate, seasonal conditions, application timing, water quality, tank-mix compatibility and farm management. All ROI and financial figures are forward-looking estimates only.
Verdara® Broadacre may be aligned with existing spray passes where compatible. Growers should consult their agronomist and conduct a small compatibility test before tank mixing Verdara® with fertilisers, fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, adjuvants or other agricultural inputs
