Arranging a nutrient management plan will maximise production and ultimately profit from nutrient inputs whilst avoiding or minimising adverse effects on the environment. By using an NMP it will also ensure that legal requirements are met and review changes in nutrient levels and production (e.g. increasing soil fertility to support a higher stocking rate or altering soil nutrient status to suit future crops). By reviewing a plan it will help to minimise the cost of supplying nutrients and avoids wasted spend on unnecessary or unused nutrients. This will also help reduce the risk of damage to the environment.
Our experienced FACTS qualified Forage Specialists will build up your nutrient management plan from the soil up. As part of our comprehensive service we will undertake soil and slurry analysis and build your crop nutrition program.
There are a wide range of slurry or manure analysis available to cover all major and micro nutrients:
1) A standard slurry or manure analysis
Includes checking the levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium and Dry Matter.
2) A more in depth complete slurry or manure analysis
This check levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Dry Matter, Calcium, pH, Sulphur, Copper, Zinc and available Nitrogen.
