In the farm "Agro-Consulting AV" (the village of Ozerko, Zdolbunovsky district, Rivne region), soil analysis is carried out every three to four years, and then only in those fields where the lowest yield.
Thus, they will find out why, when the same amount of defecate and fertilizer is applied, they grow well in some fields of the crop, and much worse in others.
This was told by the head of the company "Agro-Consulting AV" Alexander Walters.
“Problematic” sections of fields are monitored by satellite, then soil samples are taken and sent for analysis to a German laboratory. And according to the results of the analysis, the rate of introduction of certain elements is adjusted. Thus, the “weak” fields were tightened here and in a few years they will conduct comparative analyzes again.
Re-analysis of the soil is also carried out in areas that produce stably high yields. As the farmer explains, having the results of the analyzes, you can understand how to further increase their profitability.
The entire plant protection system is built according to the situation. Usually, in the spring, another herbicidal treatment is carried out, and then fungicides are added. 3-4 treatments can be carried out per season.
The farm processes 4 thousand hectares. in Rivne and Ternopil regions.
