CROP ANALYSIS &NUTRIENT MONITORING
Effective crop nutrition starts with understanding what the soil can supply and continues by monitoring what the crop is actually taking up.
OptiYield analysis and monitoring services give farmers, growers and agronomists better information at important points in the cropping cycle. Detailed soil analysis supports planning before planting, while leaf tissue and petiole analysis provide an in-season picture of crop nutrient uptake.
Used together, these services support more accurate crop nutrition decisions, earlier identification of potential limitations and more targeted use of fertiliser and foliar inputs.

Soil Sampling and Analysis
Soil analysis provides the foundation for field-specific crop nutrition planning. It helps identify nutrient availability, pH, organic matter, soil balance and other factors that may affect crop establishment, rooting and nutrient uptake.
OptiYield soil analysis looks beyond basic nutrient levels to provide a more detailed understanding of what the soil can supply and where availability may be restricted. The results can then be used to develop a field- and crop-specific nutrition plan.
Leaf Tissue and Petiole Analysis
Leaf tissue analysis shows what the crop is actually taking up during the growing season. It can help identify hidden nutrient deficiencies, imbalances and uptake restrictions before they become clearly visible in the crop.
For potatoes, petiole analysis provides a useful picture of crop nutrient status at key stages such as tuber initiation and bulking. Results can support decisions on corrective nutrition, foliar applications and fertiliser efficiency while there is still time to influence crop performance.
