Synergy Soil testing kit

Soil testing removes the guess work enabling informed decisions and importantly ensuring the $$ are spent where needed to achieve target yields.  It is cheap insurance! Soil analysis is now available through Synergy Consulting.
Key features of the Synergy Soil Test Kit include;

• Western Australia’s only independent soil test kit
• Analysed by an accredited laboratory
• 3 soil tests are available;

Standard - Colwell P & K, S, OC%, pH, EC, NO3, NH4, PRI
Comprehensive - Standard test plus Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Exchangeable cations, Aluminium
Subsoil - pH, EC, Exchangeable cations, Aluminium

• Affordably priced
• Up to 8 sites per kit
• Payment to be made with samples
• Independent interpretation is available through Synergy Consulting

In crop herbicide resistance

Independent service;
To determine the herbicide resistance status of ryegrass or radish populations site by site.  Ultimately it identifies what herbicides still work, preventing costly failures, and importantly providing direction for future management strategies.

Synergy EM38/ Radiometrics Surveying

Why EM38 or radiometric surveying?  They provide an accurate map of your soils & soil variability.  This then enables us to identify areas with problems we can fix, and areas that can be managed differently for more profit.  No other technology allows the rapid, wide-scale mapping that EM38 / radiometrics does at an economically feasible price.  Once you locate the soil classes accurately, yield maps and biomass images become much more useful.  Think about it – variable rate lime, variable rate P, K, & N, a deep ripping map showing unresponsive or rocky areas – the possibilities are endless.

The process involved is not a simple exercise with components involving;

1. In paddock collection of information = surveying using Dual EM38 and radiometric units.  EM & radiometrics data relates to soil properties that are agronomically important.
2. Processing of data to create soil zones.
3. Soil core collection by soil zones (0-10cm, 10-30cm, 30-60cm) & analysis = “ground truthing”.
4. Interpretation of the soil test results.
5. Comprehensive report documenting Dual EM/ radiometric zones & soil test sites and soil analysis.
6. Creation of Management zones.
