Origin Soil Nutrition will use Lamma to demonstrate the important role of micronutrients and how best to apply them.
Its Micro-Match demonstrations will show farmers how smaller quantities of micronutrients can be applied alongside macro nutrients to increase landing sites by 50 times compared with granular micronutrients.
Toby Ward, nutrition and marketing agronomist at Origin Soil Nutrition, says valid soil tests, leaf or tissue results from the previous growing season, or post-harvest grain analysis can all be used to inform fertiliser choices. “The data can be utilised by one of our team and matched against the requirements for the following crop to ensure these are met and wastage is minimised. The worst kind of fertiliser is the wrong fertiliser as, not only is this the most expensive, but the crop can’t access it and excessive losses can occur.”
Toby continues: “By using these data sets, we can prescribe the right blend of nutrients to account for the deficiencies within the profile. We’ll also be able to identify if certain nutrients are holding others back, such as a sulphur deficiency inhibiting nitrogen uptake.”
