Under the England Farming Rules for Water 2018, the results of soil sampling and analysis need to be taken into account when planning fertiliser application. All cultivated agricultural land in England needs to have a soil sample and analysis that is no more than 5 years old at the time of fertiliser or organic manure application.
A soil analysis is more than just a legislative requirement, it is essential for providing the factual information required to build a nutrient programme. Based on the soil results, fertiliser can be formulated for your crop to optimise your potential yields.
Using soil results enables you to adapt your nutrient inputs to maintain soil indices at target levels and to achieve the best yields for your crop.
The interpretation and nutrient prescription should be made by an Origin FACTS Qualified Advisor.
