Is soil and plant testing beneficial?
A soil test is an effective tool in managing the mineral nutrition of growing plants. It is a quick and inexpensive way to check the levels of essential soil nutrients, and can be a key management tool when making sustainable economic and environmental management decisions. Weigh up the cost of sampling against the direct cost of a mild nutrient deficiency – it is only a small price to pay for the assurance of a correct nutritional platform and successful growing season.
