High-performance foliar biostimulant for cereals, oilseeds and pulses.
Built on the Verdaris™ framework.
Verdara® Broadacre is a field-ready liquid foliar biostimulant with crop-specific programs designed around key vegetative and pre-reproductive development windows. Applied through existing boom-spray equipment across wheat, barley, maize, canola, sunflower, chickpea, field pea and soybean.
Verdara® is a field-ready liquid foliar biostimulant based on a naturally complex profile of plant-derived compounds. These naturally occurring compound groups are associated with plant growth, plant architecture, metabolic activity and responses to environmental stress during commercially important development windows.
The current Broadacre program applies Verdara® at crop-specific development stages selected to align foliar application with important periods of vegetative and pre-reproductive growth.
Naturally occurring cytokinin-related compounds including zeatin, together with auxin- and gibberellin-related growth signals, support cell division and elongation, root and vascular development, plant architecture and developmental processes associated with productive growth.
Free and peptide-bound amino acids provide biological building blocks and energy substrates that support protein synthesis, enzyme activity and chlorophyll formation during rapid growth windows.
A naturally balanced mineral matrix containing potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium and trace elements including zinc, iron and manganese supports core plant metabolism, photosynthetic enzyme function and carbohydrate metabolism.
Amino acids including proline and glutathione contribute to osmoprotection and cellular water balance under environmental stress such as drought and extreme heat.
Vitamin C, tocopherols and flavonoids contribute antioxidant and photoprotective functions, helping manage reactive oxygen species and excessive UV stress.
Verdaris™ is the Farmbright® development platform behind Verdara® — connecting a field-ready liquid format with crop-specific application guidance and an expanding program of field validation.
The result is a practical foliar program growers can use today, with the flexibility to become more crop-specific as testing, agronomic experience and field data expand.
Verdara® arrives as a liquid foliar biostimulant concentrate ready to measure, dilute and apply through suitable existing spray equipment.
Volume, timing and frequency are matched to the current crop and production system, with guidance refined as field experience, testing and agronomic evidence expand.
Verdaris™ gives Farmbright® a foundation to strengthen crop programs as more field testing, validation and agronomic data become available.
Verdara® Broadacre is not applied as a one-size-fits-all seasonal program. Dr Gustavo Bracho's current application matrix aligns concentrate volume and application timing with plant development and key vegetative or pre-reproductive stages.
Wheat example — 3-application program. Broadacre programs vary by crop; current programs use two or three applications across early, mid and late vegetative or pre-reproductive stages.
Establishment after germination, tillering, first leaves, seedling branching
Supports canopy strength, productive growth and yield potential carried into the season.
Rapid growth, stem elongation, plant architecture development and node formation
Supports crop structure and yield potential entering the pre-reproductive phase.
Pre-flowering transition from rapid vegetative growth
Supports the crop into its reproductive phase and final yield expression.

Current crop timing, application volume and frequency reflect Farmbright®’s present technical guidance. Programs may be adjusted following field testing and/or on the advice of a qualified agronomist to suit crop, variety, production system and local conditions. Where total program volume changes, the confirmed crop-program price may also change.
Measure the crop-specific volume of Verdara® concentrate required for the hectares being treated.
Add Verdara® directly to clean spray water according to the supplied application guide.
Broadacre programs use a 20-fold dilution (5% v/v), with final spray volume determined by crop. Refer to the crop-specific program table.
Apply as a foliar spray through standard boom-spray equipment at the crop-specific development stage. Follow Farmbright® application guidance and normal spray-condition best practice.
Verdara® is sold as a direct-purchase crop program. Final pricing reflects the concentrate volume and application schedule prescribed for the selected crop. Growers apply Verdara® through their own equipment and retain 100% of any resulting crop-performance upside.
Representative wheat model only. Baseline wheat yield 2.89 t/ha; wheat Verdara® program $125/ha + GST; grain prices $350/t lower, $360/t mid-range and $375/t upper scenario. Target uplift scenarios are forward-looking estimates and are not guaranteed outcomes. Actual results vary by crop, variety, yield potential, commodity price, soil, climate, season, application timing and management. All figures AUD. Return-on-spend and net-value modelling uses ex-GST Verdara® pricing; GST is added to invoices where applicable.

Verdara® Broadacre is a high-performance liquid foliar biostimulant for cereals, oilseeds and pulses, developed under Farmbright® Verdaris™ and applied through crop-specific development-stage programs.
Read the bioscienceVerdara® is supplied as a field-ready liquid foliar biostimulant concentrate for dilution and application according to the current crop-specific program.
See the Verdaris™ frameworkVerdara® is positioned as a foliar biostimulant rather than a conventional foliar fertiliser. It delivers a naturally complex profile of plant-active compounds designed to support crop performance at selected development stages.
Verdara® Broadacre crop programs start from $95/ha + GST. Final price depends on the crop-specific concentrate volume and application schedule. Freight is charged separately.
Product requirement varies by crop. Current Broadacre programs range from 15 L/ha to 37.5 L/ha of concentrate across the full crop program. Select your crop in the Verdara® order configurator for the applicable program.
Application timing is crop-specific. Current programs use two or three applications across early, mid and late vegetative or pre-reproductive stages. Rates, timing and frequency are current guidance and may be refined through field testing and/or qualified agronomic advice.
Verdara® is supplied ready for the grower to measure, dilute and apply according to the relevant crop program. No on-farm extraction or steeping is required.
No specialist application infrastructure is required. Verdara® Broadacre is designed for use through standard agricultural boom-spray equipment, subject to normal calibration and application guidance.
Verdara® has a 3-month shelf life from receipt when stored according to supplied instructions.
No. Verdara® Broadacre currently targets a 15–30% performance range under responsive crop and seasonal conditions. This is a forward-looking target, not a guarantee.
Yes. Current rates, timing and application frequency are guidance based on Farmbright®'s present technical program. They may be refined following field testing and/or on the advice of a qualified agronomist to suit the crop, variety, production system and local conditions.
Verdara® may be aligned with existing spray passes where compatible. Growers should consult their agronomist and conduct a compatibility test before tank mixing with third-party agricultural inputs.
