For all crop and pasture growers, especially those sitting on the fence when it comes to plant analysis, find out why our leading nutritional advisers are saying plant tissue testing is becoming more important.
Sharing a generous sample of the plant analysis experience she has picked up in WA paddocks, from Binnu to Esperance, CSBP’s Account Manager Nichola Cassidy joins our host Grey Johnston to talk through the advantages and need-to-know basics of plant sampling.
Completing four seasons with our Trials team built Nichola’s depth of knowledge on diverse soil types and different crop nutrition strategies. Now, she brings that wealth of knowledge to our Sales team as account manager for York, Northam, and surrounding areas.
In this episode, Nichola explains: how CSBP NUlogic Plant Analysis gives you a 'live score' on what your plants and soils have got in the tank to optimise growth; what crop types can be tested, and; how to take your plant samples using the Four Rs – right place, right stage of growth, right part of the plant and right sample size.
Nichola also shares tips on identifying nutrient deficiency symptoms for analysis. And she delves into her real-life case studies to explain when it might be a good idea to get our agronomists on the case out in your paddock for trouble-shooting nutrient insights.
