Soil Testing
Combining soil, tissue and/or Sap testing offers a comprehensive view of both soil fertility and plant nutrition. This integrated approach helps farmers make informed decisions to maximise crop yield, maintain soil health, and promote sustainability. By regularly conducting these tests, farmers can ensure their crops receive the right balance of nutrients at the right time, leading to healthier plants and higher yields.
Benefits:
- 1
Nutrient Levels
Soil tests provide essential information about nutrient levels, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like zinc and iron. This helps farmers tailor their fertiliser strategies to address specific deficiencies.
- 2
Soil pH
Understanding soil pH is vital because it affects nutrient availability. Most crops thrive in a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
- 3
Organic Matter
Soil tests measure organic matter content, which is crucial
for soil structure, water retention, and nutrient supply. - 4
Cost Efficiency
By knowing the exact nutrient needs, farmers can avoid
over- or under-fertilising, reducing costs and environmental impacts.
Integrated Approach
Combining soil, tissue, and/or sap testing provides a thorough understanding of soil fertility and plant nutrition. This integrated approach enables farmers to make well-informed decisions to optimise crop yields, support soil health, and foster sustainability. By performing these tests regularly, farmers can ensure their crops receive the ideal balance of nutrients at the right time, resulting in stronger plants and improved harvests.
