PRECISION SOIL ANALYSIS

PRECISION SOIL ANALYSING:

Soil variations within farm lands can lead to inefficiencies if no allowances are made for them.

Ideally, different soil types require different management techniques, and years of blanket fertilizer treatments within lands often create imbalances.

The aim is to define soil nutrient zones so that they can be managed individually.

This step is very important to know what the status of your soil is.

Big savings are possible, because you will know exactly what your soil needs are for optimal production.

Saving on Lime is possible, because you add Lime (the right type and tons) on the areas that the pH (Kcl) is lower than 5.3.

We take the soil samples on a grid of 1 Ha. It is the most effective grid to use as the soil in South Africa differs a lot in micro elements and it is not recommended to start Precision soil analysis on a bigger grid.

We take a sample 30cm deep (mixed) in between plant rows.

We analyze for pH, P Bray 1; K; Ca; Mg; Na%; Clay %( Finger test) and Acid Saturation%.

We give recommendations on Lime; Supers and Kcl50.

An Unbiased or impartial fertilizing recommendation is given from our Agriculturist.
