Our tips for soil management

  • Protect soils from pugging damage. Graze wet paddocks early before soil moisture gets too high.
  • Start thinking about nitrogen and sulphur options for spring to boost early growth.
  • Soil test crops as early as possible. Early paddock selection of spring sown fodder crops allows you to identify lime requirements and apply lime well before sowing.
  • Before you soil test, ensure no phosphate and potassium fertilisers have been applied in the previous three months, as this can lead to elevated test results.
