Soil sampling and analysis

Keeping track on your soils nutritional status helps ensure your yield potentials are not leaking away.

As the rain clouds have finally cleared and allowed some reasonable progress with harvest operations here in the South soon thoughts will turn to preparations for new season crops. But without doubt this delayed start has meant autumn workloads will be increased in the coming weeks. Knowing your soils current nutrient status is essential to help make accurately informed input decisions from day one as the balanced consistent supply of essential nutrients is fundamental to efficient crop growth and development.

Berkshire agronomy can provide assistance at this busy time of year to ensure your crops get off to the best possible start. Collection of field soil samples for as little as £2 per hectare, adding a standard analysis soil package reporting pH, P, K, Mg and organic matter for only £17.50 per sample will provide the basic information required to make the most efficient crop nutritional choices. And with fertiliser prices continuing to steadily climb soil analysis is one operation that should not be overlooked this autumn…Get in touch to discuss how we could help.
