Why grain nutrient analysis could pay this summer

摘要

Farmers are being advised to get their grain analysed this harvest to help refine next season's fertiliser decisions, with data showing the financial uncertainty equates to E2,000 for an average field.With fertiliser prices remaining high and grain prices still rising, crop physiologists at Adas say farmers can no longer afford to "guesstimate" their crops' nutrition.They are, therefore, urging farmers to measure their fertiliser performance with grain analysis and benchmarking.
