Comprehensive soil testing delivers insights for optimal soil health & productivity.
Australian Mineral Fertilisers offer comprehensive soil testing to identify soil limitations and improve agricultural performance. Grow Safe Field Advisors can assist with sampling, processing, interpretation and fertiliser recommendations. The comprehensive soil test has fifty-five test parameters, including;
In agriculture, comprehensive soil testing plays a crucial role in understanding soil limitations and requirements for plant growth. They reveal vital, site-specific data about the soil, contributing to healthier crops, grazing livestock performance, input efficiency and overall improved farming techniques. The more comprehensive the test, the more valuable and actionable insight can be gained. At Grow Safe, we offer a customised soil testing matrix with fifty-five test parameters including; available & total nutrients, nutrient ratios, carbon & organic matter, cation exchange capacity (CEC), phosphorus buffering index (PBI) and soil electrical conductivity (EC). These services deliver in-depth insights, enabling farmers to gain a better understanding of their soil conditions and make well-informed decisions for their agricultural practices.
Soil testing is a critical step in understanding the health and fertility of your land. At Grow Safe, our Field Advisors can provide sampling services with analysis completed through an independent provider, Environmental Analysis Laboratory (EAL). The Grow Safe team can interpret and report on these findings, recommending appropriate strategies that best address soil test indicators.
Grow Safe® Field Advisors are equipped with the expertise and tools necessary to collect accurate soil samples, either directly or by providing growers with a testing kit and detailed sampling guidance. Grow Safe® Field Advisors are also Fertcare Accredited to meet independent nutrient recommendation and quality assurance standards set by the Australasian Soil and Plant Analysis Council (ASPAC). This ensures that samples are free from contamination and the best possible representation of your soil. Our services also extend to tissue testing during the growing season and biological testing, including real-time assessments of soil bacteria to fungi ratios using products such as the MicroBIOMETER, or taking soil samples for biological analysis.
Comprehensive soil testing identifies site specific nutrient deficiencies (or adequacies) that can assist nutritional selection or soil remedies that a basic soil test focusing on pH cannot. A comprehensive test also provides an understanding of organic matter and the soil’s carrying capacity, assisting crop selection or planning best-fit land use. If applying soil ameliorants to address pH, a comprehensive test can identify the most appropriate products, be it dependent on calcium/magnesium ratios or to mitigate nutrient lock-up. Over time, comprehensive tests provide additional value through providing an on-farm database to monitor soil health over multiple seasons.
