Plant Analysis
Plant tissue testing is essential to reach an optimum and healthy crop production. Liebig’s Law of the Minimum states that the growth of the crop is controlled by the scarcest resource. This means that the fertilization element that is scarcest in the soil or plant will be the limiting factor for the development of an optimum crop.
It is therefore recommended by Agmin that at least three plant tissue tests are performed during the season to review what the crop requirements are during the growth stages for optimum crop production.
Agmin works in conjunction with laboratories that are accredited by the Australian Soil and Plant Analysis Council (ASPAC) in order to ensure that quality of analysis results are fully validated. After the analysis of the plant tissue the results are used in a nutritional evaluation by Agmin’s agronomist to make a recommendation of what actions are available to you for the improvement of your crop. This is important both prior to planting/seeding and during the growth stages of the crop. A single soil or plant tissue test with recommendations is a very inexpensive way to establish any deficiencies or problems in both the soil and the plant. Agmin provides complete cost effective soil tests and plant tissue analyses for all important fertilization elements including test such as Electrical Conductivity, pH, Phosphorous Buffer Index and more.
The recommendation from Agmin also contains evaluation of fertilization elements interaction and antagonism. There is a complex interplay between elements, and how they affect each other in the soil plant. Some elements can enhance or suppress each other. An example of this can be seen in figure 2 of the complex interaction and antagonism of elements that has to be taken into consideration during an evaluation.
