Soil Fertility: Whether you need only spring, fall soil sampling or weekly in-season monitoring and irrigation management, Soiltest has the expertise to help you. At any level of composite field sampling from Precision Agriculture grid sampling to Smart Sampling, Soiltest has the resources to meet your consulting needs. We can provide season-long consulting on a fee-per-acre basis or do a one-time custom job.
Plant Nutrition: Soil testing does not always tell the whole story of plant nutrition. Soiltest has always maintained expertise in the analysis of plant tissues. We can supply one-time service or weekly crop logging coupled with fertilizer needs analysis.
Irrigation Management: Water management is core to the management of crop nutrition. Soluble nutrients like Nitrate and Sulfate cannot be managed properly without also managing water applications. Soiltest's core Irrigation Management Program incorporates ET information from weather data, rain gage catch data, crop growth stage and soil moisture information. Typically, this information is collected to generate a weekly plan which includes hours of operation and number passes/sets to make. Soiltest can also provide cutting edge technology for irrigation management with the use of ECH2O dielectric moisture probes. This system provides real-time soil moisture and rain gage information with which to manage your irrigation schedule.
