Soil Health and fertility

Soil solution analysis (Primefact No 1143)

Factsheet cover image 
Factsheet Number: 1143    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: Jan 2012

Soil salinity can cause salt burn, affect crop quality and reduce yield. Incorrect soil nitrate levels affect crop growth, quality and yield and excessive nitrogen applications are wasteful and can result in contamination of water tables and waterways. It is essential that soil salinity and nitrate levels be monitored throughout the crop cycle to ensure optimum crop growth.

Soil solution extraction and analysis can inexpensively monitor both salt and nitrate throughout the growing season to ensure optimum crop growth.
