But what if e ective pest control for wild pigs, deer, wallabies, rabbits, rats and mice could be achieved easily and sustainably? Newton Agri is proud to bring world leading agricultural biotech brand Penergetic to the South Island, which o ers solutions via three key deterrent products: bWV for wild pigs and deer, bKV for wallabies and bZV for rabbits, rats and mice, with other targeted pest products in development. The products are applied and act as a deterrent promoting a pest-free environment in the treated areas and eliminating the need for fencing, reducing capital costs. The products remains e ective even after rainfall and help limit the spread of wildlife-related diseases. Wildlife management has been a passion of Newton Agri’s owner Paul Newton for over 30 years and for the last 15, working within New Zealand agriculture. “I’ve seen many situations where deer damage has bought yields of winter feed crops to under 2TDM/Ha and under 10% survival of tree plantings, which is extremely costly. When the results started coming through from overseas of the Penergetic technology being e ective on deterring irstly wild deer and pigs, I knew the bene its this could bring to many farmers. This Product minimizes damage and o ers a cost-e ective tool in dealing with feral pests.” he says. As an example, he points to the case Pests damaging your bottom line? of client Darryl Shanks who farms over 400 hectares in the Catlins with a signi icant wild deer problem, eating and damaging crops grown for his stock. Darryl trialed Penergetic bWV on two crop areas where deer were present while in pasture and during the cultivation process. “The crop is now over four inches high with only two deer seen inside the area in which bWV was applied and they didn’t stay long before exiting. We were impressed at the immediate impact and will continue to use this product in conjunction with our current wild animal management practices,” says Darryl. Forestry is a growing industry and requires a large investment in establishing plantations. Allan Laurie, of Laurie Forestry Services Limited, has been using Penergetic bKV on various areas in the Hunter hills, South Canterbury with great success. “We are thrilled with the results we have had with the Newton Agri Penergetic applied to deter wallabies,” says Allan. “The results have been nothing short of stunning. We intend to utilize the product in future plantings in pest prone areas.” Paul says the Penergetic animal deterrent products are non-toxic, do not kill or harm animals and are part of pest management programs. The full range of Penergetic biotech products promote natural processes in soil, plants, animals, slurry, water and compost. Contact Newton Agri to ind out more.
