Spend pound 9/acre to achieve up to pound 100 return using soil analysis

摘要

SOME farmers consider soil analysis as a cost they can do without But this is similar to building a house without any foundations, says Mark Garrett, Kemira GrowHow technical manager for Scotland. "Without knowing what nutr i-ents are contained in the soil it is impossible to build a meaningful fertiliser plan," he says. "So if there's no soil analysis you could be spending money unnecessarily or, just as importantly, limiting yield due to deficiencies."
