Shane Fitzgerald 
Metagen Labs Australia

Shane Fitzgerald is founder of Metagen Labs Australia and also serves as the Director of Agronomy and Research at Metagen. For over 25 years Shane has been using leading technologies to improve crop performance and sustainability throughout Australia. His expertise in integrated approaches, nutritional approaches and biological balancing is transforming the results in agriculture. He is working with some of Australia's leading growers with a particular interest in horticulture, tree crops and tropical agriculture.

Shane's keen interest in agriculture started whilst growing up on a crop farm in the Lockyer Valley. After years of using ineffective fungicides on their crops for disease problems, Shane became interested in finding new solutions for improving soil performance and managing plant disease.
