Who will be doing the soil testing?
Behind every test is a team of experienced, approachable people who understand farming and growing. The Osflo team works closely with you to collect samples, interpret results, and provide clear, practical advice you can trust.
Soil testing can be done on any problem areas of your property as required. In general, we recommend you complete an overall soil test every 2-3 years across the farm. This does not have to be every in individual paddock, as we can split your farm into specific blocks.
Soil and herbage testing are often used together to identify nutrient requirements. For the most part, soil tests are very accurate for nutrient statuses.
However, if you have an issue with trace elements, herbage tests provide a better indication.
It is not recommended to do soil tests in either Summer or Winter months, as it’s usually too dry or too wet. We recommend you do soil tests before your Autumn or Spring fertiliser applications. The most important factor is ensuring you test at the same time each year, and in the same areas.
Definitely! Different crops have different nutrient requirements. When you test before sowing your crop, you’ll be able to tailor your nutrient applications to suit the specific crop’s needs.
We have an experienced and capable team on board at Osflo who will organise a time to come out to your property to collect the tests. From here we send them to a specialist laboratory for professional analysis.
The physical soil testing will depend on the number of individual tests you require, as well as the size of the sample area. From here you can expect around a 5-7 working day turnaround to have your results.
Once your results arrive, we will be able to identify any nutrient requirements. From there, we’ll devise a specific fertiliser programme for you.
