What is Chemical?

Chemical is all the periodic table elements that are in the soil. We use the physical soil map to devise our soil sampling zones. This allows us to start to balance the chemical and physical production zone. This is one step that grid sampling cannot do. Grid sampling does not account for any physical changes in the soil. So the best you get is average.

Services Offerings

Production Zone Soil Sampling

This is the first place we use the soil mapping zones. We can manage the change in any single nutrient quicker, leading to the most accurate and best use of your fertility dollars.

Fertilizer/Lime Recommendations

Fertility recommendations are developed in a multi-step process. Lime recommendations are developed the year of soil sampling. Recommendations are generated to raise the pH to 6.5 based on the buffer pH.

Nitrogen Management

It takes an understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the soil to manage the different forms of nitrogen. Through all of this we can produce daily nitrogen prescriptions.

Information Sharing

This allows field activities to sync to our office. The benefits of this are numerous. This information sharing can give us real-time intelligence to get personnel out to the the field quicker, for you to make faster decisions when timing is critical. Time is money!
