How
often have you wondered why the crop in two apparently similar
fields don’t perform equally well?
 Disappointing
yield?
Need
for additonal trace elements?
Proneness
to disease?
Rainwater
holding on the surface?
Soil
becoming sticky and more difficult to work?
Increasing
reliance on chemical input?
Not
meeting quality parameters for marketability?
Protein,
bushel weights, screenings, suspect?
Insufficient
percentage meeting Grade 1 produce?
The soil consists of a team of three;
Physical –
Chemical – Biological
These three are the indivisible, interdependent members of the
‘soil team’. One member off balance will adversely
impact on all three, thus reducing nature’s potential contribution
to profitable crop production.
How do we find out if the ‘team’
is balanced and supporting crop production in the way that it
should be?
