DEVELOPING A PROGRAMMED APPROACH To improve you need to know where you currently are, so it’s important to establish a starting point. This is why we have developed a unique and effective range of soil and plant analyses, including soil chemistry, soil and plant biology, plant sap and tissue, and water that enable us to assess your current situation and advise on the best way to improve soil & plant health.
Plant SAP Analysis
Soil Nutrient Analysis
Biological Analysis
Water Quality Analysis
The Soilsmart plant SAP Analysis is a unique and valuable diagnostic tool which has demonstrated an ability to detect plant deficiencies that other plant testing methods are simply unable to.
Regular assessment of the soils’ nutritional status is crucial to managing healthy plant growth and like nearly everything in nature, balance is the key for optimal plant performance.
Whilst the assessment of the soils’ nutritional balance is important, it is however just one piece of the puzzle. Improving nutritional balance and eliminating obvious nutrient deficiencies doesn’t necessarily result in better plant health because without a functioning and beneficial soil biomass and an effective root system, the soil can be just a reservoir of ‘potentially available’ nutrients.
The quality of irrigation water is another potential influence on plant growth and soil health, particularly in situations where saline conditions have developed, or where mineral imbalances and surplus are relevant.
