If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it

The British sugar beet review February 2018 talks about applying precision fertiliser practice to the application of knowledge and recommends doing “what we currently do, but better”.

A soil analysis is essential for providing the factual information required to build a nutrient programme. Based on the soil results, a prescription fertiliser can be formulated for your crop in order to optimise your potential yields.

By matching nutrient supply with crop demand, you can ensure that the appropriate level of nutrients
are available to maximise profitability on your farm. As well as analysing soil pH along with a measure of plant available phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, an Origin Sweet-Beet Standard+ analysis also
measures sodium and boron levels.

Origin Sweet-Beet Extra+ provides analysis on an extra 8 nutrients, giving you indepth knowledge of your soil. Using the 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 Adviser.
