About Us - eco-organic garden by Organic Crop Protectants

If you’ve not heard of us before then you might want to know something about us. Fair enough we say.

Organic Crop Protectants was founded in Australia in 1991 and we’ve been developing and manufacturing quality eco-friendly organic horticultural products ever since. Around the office we call ourselves OCP as Organic Crop Protectants is a bit of a mouthful!

We like organic growing plain and simple. We like that it does away with the need for toxic chemicals and that it nurtures the earth. We like that it gives us healthy plants and produce. We also have a particular soft spot for beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs. These guys are incredibly important to our ecosystems and should be looked after. With that in mind our products are specifically designed to be safe for beneficials.

Originally our products were developed and sold exclusively in the commercial sector for farmers and growers. Over the years garden clubs and keen gardeners started to hear about our products and would often call us wanting to purchase some. This prompted us to launched the eco-organic garden range in Australia in 2005 so that home gardeners could access the products in small convenient quantities. Organic gardening just got that bit easier.

In 2018 we joined the DuluxGroup which is home to some of Australia and New Zealand’s most trusted and oldest brands including Dulux Paints, Yates, Selleys and many others.

New Zealand’s turn came in 2019 when we launched part of the eco-organic garden range with plans for additional product releases in 2020.

During our entire history we’ve worked hard to expand our organic range and broaden our reach into mainstream gardening circles. At any one time we have multiple research projects unfolding as we continue to look for new ways to organically and safely solve gardening problems.

As a result we are now widely recognised as industry pioneers and are very proud to have been part of the organic movement long before it became trendy. As part of our commitment to genuine organic products all of our products in New Zealand are independently certified by Australian Organic and BioGro.

So if you like the sound of what we do then give our products a go!
