GRID SAMPLING

Optimal Fertilizer Placement Adds Security

Grid sampling reveals how the nutrients are distributed across a field. By collecting more soil samples on a field we gain a better understanding of the nutrients available. By understanding the nutrients available, we can be confident the fertilizer dollars are being used efficiently.

Yield Analysis

Grid sampling prevents over-application of fertilizer in areas where nutrient levels are high.
Grid sampling allows for soil enrichment with fertilizer in areas where nutrient levels are low.

Tissue Testing

In each of these cases the soil sample allows for the fertilizer prescription to be optimized and the chance of a return on the investment improved.

Grid soil sampling and variable rate application of lime, gypsum and fertilizers adds a level of control and security to a fertilizer program.

Grid sampling is a convenient way to answer questions before scaling up the entire farm. By combining grids with yield analysis one can explore what nutrients are limiting yield and correct the issue. It is also possible to set up on-farm learning plots to explore how variables interact, like population and fertility.
