In Fertilizer:

Fertiliser and Nutrition

A major responsibility of the agronomic team is to provide a full advice package to clients on winter crop, pasture and horticultural crop nutrition.

Nutrition forms the cornerstone of most agricultural production systems.  The agronomy and horticultural team regularly conduct:

a)     Soil testing (shallow) for all crops and pasture to assess nutritional and soil pH status.

b)     Deep soil nitrogen and sulphur testing

c)      Leaf tissue and micronutrient testing to evaluate and diagnose in crop issues for all winter crop, pasture and orchard issues.

d)     On farm replicated fertiliser trials

The testing and diagnostic services are conducted with accredited laboratories.

As an extension to the testing program, the advisory team formulates farm nutritional packages on an individual paddock basis combined with any nutritional testing results.
