Enhancing soil resources to maximise profitability
Our greatest asset is the soil on which we farm. Maximising productivity and profitability both now and into the future relies on balanced and functional soil. Integrated Agronomy understands the influence of soil chemistry, physics and biology on crop performance and develops soil amelioration and fertiliser plans to maximise crop performance and soil health.
Ongoing nutrition management requires comprehensive plant testing throughout the season to ensure plants are well balanced and have the nutrient and energy reserves to support the current crop. Utilising petiole, leaf, cane/spur and fruit sampling we are able to evaluate what nutrients would enhance crop performance in the short term, what was been removed and what is required prior to next season.
