SFI Variable Rate Nutrient Management Plan

P,K,Mg & pH Management

Nutrient maps clealry identifying in-field variation. Sampling conducted on a strategic 100 meter grid basis - 16 cores of soil constituting a sample - increases accuracy to 83% taking & analysing one sample from every hectare.

Sampling plan re-used four years later to form a true comparison creating a "before" and "after" indication of your nutrient management policy

The Benefits

Identify and target treat areas that require more / less fertiliser
What you save on the nutrient rich areas you invest in the low nutrien zones
Reduced variability gives higher consistency / uniformity
Reduce costs & waste

VR Nitrogen Management

Web driven service providing the opportunity to control your variable application of Nitrogen fertilsier reducing excess applications and saving costs

Easy to follow process;

Work out your total N application - SNS
Acquire the satellit imagery
Choose the desired image to use
Create LAI (leaf area index) maps automatically
Enter the crop growth stage and desirted base application rate
Choose the desired variation aoround your base rate eg 30%
Create and export your application maps to the desired GPS controller
Can be used witj existig equipment

Organic Matter

For your organic matter, have this analysed at the time you have your P,K,Mg & pH sampling conduted. Agri-tech staff can incorporate the OM in with the sampling of your P.K's etc.

Using the LOI (loss of ignition) method of analysis, create a clear picture of your farm's OM status. There will be one sample per field for OM made up of the individual soil sub-samples taken for the P,K analysis.

A farm organic matter map can be created at an additional cost if so desired making viewing quick & easy. These maps can be replicated at a point in the future to create an easy to view comparison.
