About
Sustainable agriculture with science-based solutions.
With a focus on improving soil and plant health, we provide agronomists and farm advisors with the insights they need to make informed decisions.
Our advice is designed to:
Prevent issues & disease
Achieve optimal results
Build long-term resilliance
Our data-driven approach is built on years of expertise in soil biology, plant physiology, and crop management.
Our founding principles are Humility, Ingenuity and Teamwork. We understand that to give our customers the best service possible at all times each of these three principles must be at the forefront of our thinking.
We work in close partnership with Solena AG for soil testing, ensuring that our recommendations are backed by the latest scientific research.
Our Leadership Team
Dr. Mohd Mostofa Kamal (PhD)
Dr Kamal is a world travelled plant pathologist who gained his undergraduate degree at Sher-E-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh. He then completed his Maters in Plant Pathology at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, also in Bangladesh. He then accepted a British Council scholarship to attend the University of Manchester UK, where he completed his Masters of Science in Plant Science.
In 2012, Kamal accepted a scholarship from the Faculty of Science at Charles Sturt University where he completed his PhD in Plant Pathology under Professor Gavin Ash.
After completing his PhD, Kamal was a recipient of the Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship Program. This esteemed fellowship is governed by the US Dept of Agriculture and implemented at the Ohio State University. During his fellowship, Kamal studied marker assisted selection of soil microbial communities for development of biostimulants, biofertilizers and biofungicides.
In 2017 Kamal undertook a University of Southern Queensland fellowship program to study industrial microbial fermentation production. This set him up well for his next role at New Edge Microbials where he commenced in 2018.
Kamal’s commercial experience includes a working knowledge around producing microorganisms at commercial scale and in the highest concentrations possible. His field work both commercially and within an R&D setting has helped him curate one of the best selling ranges of microbial formulations for agriculture within Australia
Grant Kelson (B. Bus, MBA)
Prior to forming GSB with business partner Dr Mohd Kamal, Grant worked at a leading NSW manufacturer of biological products. In his time with that firm Grant filled the roles of Chief Operating Officer and also General Manager of Major Projects.
Grant’s career has always been in farming and agribusiness and he holds a particular expertise in creating efficient businesses and building hard working and reliable teams. Grant has a straight-talking reputation in his dealings with people and brings a wealth of knowledge of the agricultural sector to GSB.
Data Driven Biology
Soil Microbiome Test
Providing essential insights into soil health and fertility.
Samples from your fields are analysed for nutrient levels, pH, organic matter, and microbial activity to identify specific needs for optimal crop protection.
What’s Involved
The process begins with accurate sample collection, followed by analysis in a certified laboratory. Key factors evaluated include macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), micronutrients (iron, zinc), soil texture, and moisture levels.
Results
You’ll receive a report detailing nutrient levels, pH balance, organic matter content, and microbial activity, typically within 10 to 14 days.
Report / Advice
The report includes tailored recommendations for improving soil health, including product applications and crop rotation strategies. Our advisory services can be customised for ongoing support or case-by-case guidance to meet your farming goals.
