Soil Sampling – Soil Nitrate Sampling
Our team of professional agronomists are trained in the latest soil sampling techniques. Consistent soil sampling is the key to having accurate soil test results for higher yields. Crop Wise takes soil samples for client’s fields and provides accurate data to maximize soil fertility.
Let Crop Wise take care of soil sampling in your fields so that you can take corrective action to maximize your fertilizer inputs.
• Soil Sampling Process:
• Mark field boundary using GPS
• Divide field into acre grids
• Navigate using GPS to grid point
• Take soil sample
• Send sample to lab for analysis
• Load boundary maps into a GIS software
• Attach lab data to sample points
• Perform interpolation analysis to develop soil nutrient date
• View infield variation
• Grid sizes selected field by field
Crop Scouting
Crop Wise, performs crop monitoring in the Nodaway County region. Crop monitoring, or integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) is an essential part of precision farming. IPDM uses field-specific information and improved decision making to protect crop yield and quality whole minimizing the risks associated with pesticide and herbicide use. Through a regular and systematic field-sampling program, scouting provides specific information on pest pressure and crop injury. This information is essential to the appropriate selection and application of pest and disease management procedures. The purpose of scouting is to determine whether a pest is present and if the application of a pest management procedure is justified.
Scouting is also beneficial to determine whether nutrient deficiencies, soil compaction or other disorders are affecting crop health. Using technology such as GPS and personal digital assistants, scouts are able to mark exact references of items such as water logging or weed patches and are then able to use these references to apply chemicals without over applying to the entire field, saving money and time.
