Precision biological foliar powder for high-value fruit and vegetable crops.
Powered by Verdaris™ Formulation Technology
Applied across five crop-performance windows, Verdara® Horticulture is designed to support crop vigour, quality, uniformity and marketable yield across fruit and vegetable production systems.
Verdara® is built around Farmbright's proprietary Verdaris™ Formulation Technology — aa 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 during the growth stages where canopy function, reproductive development, fruit quality and marketable yield are being formed.
Support cell division, early crop architecture, reproductive development, fruit set and harvestable yield formation.
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 resilience during variable seasonal conditions.
Support cellular function during heat, moisture or transplant stress across the most commercially sensitive stages of the crop cycle.
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 horticultural foliar input — designed for field use, protected cropping systems and commercial-scale horticulture 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® Horticulture application is timed to a different crop-performance window. The program is designed to support crop vigour, quality, uniformity and marketable yield from early vegetative growth through reproductive development, crop development and harvest finish.
Crop-specific timing should be adapted to the crop, variety, region, production system and agronomic program.
Early crop establishment / canopy development
Supports early crop architecture, canopy strength and vegetative growth.
Stronger crop foundation entering reproductive or harvestable growth.
Prior to flowering or crop-load formation
Supports reproductive development, flowering potential and biological momentum.
Improved crop readiness entering flowering, fruit set or harvestable tissue expansion.
Flowering, fruit set or equivalent crop-development window
Supports stress resilience, biological signalling and yield site retention.
Stronger fruit set, improved uniformity and reduced crop stress impact.
Post-flowering through early fruit fill and bulking
Supports photosynthesis, nutrient movement and quality development.
Improved size, consistency, crop quality and marketable yield.
1–3 weeks before harvest / finish and quality build
Supports crop finish, quality retention and harvestable yield expression.
Stronger finish, improved quality attributes and reduced cull pressure.
Add 1.5 kg Verdara® to 30–45 L clean water per hectare equivalent. Stir thoroughly and leave 12–24 hours.
Pour through a 100–200 micron mesh filter or fine cloth into the spray tank. Discard residue.
Top up the spray tank to 300–500 L per hectare application volume with clean water.
Apply as a foliar spray through suitable horticultural 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.
Horticulture scenarios are indicative crop-category models only and are not calculated from a single base crop value. Actual results vary materially by crop, variety, marketable yield, quality specification, price received, production system, season and management. All figures AUD. Forward-looking estimates only. ROI scenarios are calculated using the Verdara® Horticulture price of $395/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® Horticulture is a precision biological foliar powder high-value fruit and vegetable crops, powered by Farmbright's Verdaris™ Formulation Technology. It is applied across five crop-performance windows to support crop vigour, quality, uniformity and marketable yield.
Read the bioscienceNo. Verdara® Horticulture 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 system: controlled sourcing, precision micronisation, formulation enhancement, dry-powder stability, the steeping protocol, foliar delivery design and timed application across the crop program.
See the Verdaris™ systemVerdara® Horticulture 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® Horticulture is available for direct purchase at $395 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® Horticulture is applied at 7.5 kg per hectare per season, split across five 1.5 kg applications. Farmbright supplies the product in 20 kg bags, 200 kg drums, 400 kg FIBC and 800 kg FIBC.
Verdara® Horticulture is generally applied every 10–14 days from early vegetative growth through fruit, leaf or harvestable crop development. Crop-specific timing should be confirmed with agronomic guidance.
No. Verdara® Horticulture is applied through suitable horticultural 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® Horticulture targets improved crop performance, quality and marketable yield, but actual results vary by crop, variety, production system, seasonal conditions, application timing and farm management. All ROI figures are forward-looking estimates only.
Verdara® Horticulture may be aligned with existing spray passes where compatible. Growers should consult their agronomist and conduct a small compatibility test before tank mixing.
