Vitec was established in 1989 by Ted Sloan. Ted was an agricultural scientist who had over a decade worth of practical experience having worked as a commercial orchardist for many years prior to establishing Vitec.
Throughout his time as an orchardist, Ted came to appreciate that there was far more to soil fertility, plant growth and animal health than simply applying large amounts of synthetic fertiliser. Ted’s philosophy for successful soil fertility, along with plant and animal health was based around the optimal balance between the biological activity, the physical characteristics and the chemical balance in the soil.
After experiencing first hand the negative impact that soil imbalance and lack of essential nutrients had on his own orchard, Ted began to experiment with the use of fish and seaweed on his property as well as neighbouring farms. Ted quickly realised how effective seaweed and fish were at stimulating biological activity in both plants and soil and soon after created Vitec.
After extensive research and numerous trials, Ted soon found the optimal balance and created the Vitec method, which is still used today. Vitec's unique method of processing fish and seaweed ensure that maximum levels of complex nutrients are retained resulting in improved crop and fruit yields, enhanced soil condition and improved overall animal health. Today, you will find the Vitec team, headed up by Bill Bowring and his wife Amelia, on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in their factory located in Carrum Downs.
At Vitec, the products are 100% Australian made using Australian sourced ingredients. Five of the six products are certified Organic.

Vitec King Kelp Fertiliser
Liquid seaweed fertiliser -
- Sustainably harvested from King Island in Bass Strait, Australia
- Contains a wide range of nutrients including major minerals and trace elements which are easily absorbed by the plant
- Contains natural plant hormones
- NASSA Certified Organic
About Vitec King Kelp Fertiliser
Vitec King Kelp Fertiliser is manufactured using 100% Australian Bull Kelp (Durvillaea Potatorum) collected from the pristine shores of King Island.
King Kelp helps to unlock nutrients by feeding the biology in the soil leading to healthy plant growth and improved pest and disease resistance. The cold processing of the kelp produces unaltered natural minerals, trace elements, alginates, mature growth hormones and other organic nutrients that are readily absorbed naturally by growing plants. The immediate benefits obtained from kelp can be attributed to the release of auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins. These growth hormones, required in small quantities are essential for cell division and cell elongation, basic functions of the plant.
