1 Soil Program Recommendation Grower: G.C. Wynne Consultant: Bill Munton Doyle St Quirindi NSW 2343 Soil Test No: K6930ABC These comments and suggestions are based on our interpretation of soil analysis figures from your Environmental Analysis Laboratory soil test report. Our aim is to achieve a nutritionally well balanced, biologically active healthy soil, having optimum potential to grow any plants well. Crop specific nutrient applications are of most value when applied to well balanced healthy soils. Environmental Analysis Laboratory soil test is based on the Albrecht soil model in conjunction with a test. The Albrecht soil model is a well proven format of mineral balance using base level requirements of nutrients designed to build soils for the long term as well as feed plants in the short term. Adequate levels are the basis on which this format is built. A good soil ph is not considered as a means of achieving optimum fertility levels but more as a result of achieving optimum levels of, Magnesium, Potassium and, which will produce maximum levels of fertility for a given soil. The component of our soil test includes the Soluble Tests, Conductivity (Ergs) and Nitrate N test. Soluble tests are determined by use of the Morgan Extract, sometimes referred to as the La Motte Extract because La Motte make and sell the extract. This test was developed by Carey to simulate as close as possible, the availability for uptake by plants of the soil nutrients, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus and Nitrate Nitrogen. Conductivity (Ergs) is a measure of soil energy release equal to grams/sec, indicating whether or not there is enough energy reaction going on in the soil to grow good plants. Ammonium Nitrate test, which is recommended by Carey, is only run if specifically asked for, as there is no way of determining how much Ammonia is from fertilisers versus biological life, causing false and confusing test results, where Ammonium fertilisers have been used.

2 General Comments Your soil CEC (Cation exchange Capacity) is in the heavy soil type range. The exchange capacity of 48, 39.3 and 37.7 indicates an increased amount of clay and a substantial nutrient holding capacity which requires larger quantities of added nutrients to change their relative levels in the soil. The Base Saturation of a given soil, is the specific percentage of nutrients that grows crops best, i.e. Desirable Levels of Percentage Base Saturation in your soil report. True soil balance is achieved by adding the required amount of each nutrient to achieve the desired level indicated for that soil type, an excess of a given nutrient will complex and cause a deficiency of another nutrient needed for proper plant nutrition. Fertility is the balance between elements in a biologically active soil. Low together with high Magnesium is causing an imbalance and limiting your soil fertility. A good ph level is the product of balancing the CEC Base Saturation of, Potassium, Magnesium, Hydrogen and as per their desirable levels for a given soil CEC. As the concentration is increased, so is efficiency in getting other nutrients into the plant roots. As levels are raised with introduction of lime to the soil, high Magnesium levels can be pushed down. A desirable Ca/Mg ratio is the key to good soil structure, enabling air and water movement through the soil profile and is vital for microbial proliferation and activity. As levels are raised with introduction of lime to the soil, adequate and marginally high Magnesium levels can be pushed down. A desirable Ca/Mg ratio is the key to good soil structure, enabling air and water movement through the soil profile and is vital for microbial proliferation and activity. Your test indicates a low level of Potassium which is vital to photosynthesis, essential in protein synthesis, necessary for the formation of sugars and improves water use efficiency. It can increase yields, improve crop quality and reduce disease. Phosphorus is a limiting factor in your soil and will need building to achieve good yields and quality. Plant growth and health is reliant on Phosphorus for its function in respiration, cell division and growth, sugar and starch formation, uptake and movement of nutrient in the plant. Good Phosphorus levels in the plant help to maintain high sugar and protein content which can ward off insect attack. Sulphur in the form of Sulphate is as important as Phosphate to plant nutrition. Adequate Sulphur improves the palatability of all crops and grasses, increases protein content and is necessary for chlorophyll formation, a deficiency of Sulphur will impair both yield and quality. A less than desirable biological activity is evident, signified by low plant available nutrient conversion from reserve nutrient levels, i.e. Ammonium Acetate and Bray 2 Test figures compared with Soluble Test () figures in your soil report. Nitrate N figure indicates Nitrate Nitrogen levels at the time of taking the soil samples, this level can quickly change, depending on rain, temperature and other environmental changes. Nitrate N is the main form of nitrogen taken up by a plant, it is not stable in the soil, easily leeched and moves up and down in the soil profile.

3 Therefore the lab extracted Nitrate N can be considered as a snap shot of this form of nitrogen at the time of sampling. Low tests are to be expected at the end of the cropping period, during winter and early spring, and after a period of heavy rainfall. Under such conditions, when all other factors are favourable, the absence of nitrates may not necessarily indicate poor availability of soil nitrogen. However, the crop is apt to respond to the addition of a readily available nitrogenous fertilizer. The carbon/nitrogen ratio is in a desirable range, having excellent potential to decompose organic matter. Reduced microbial activity could be a limiting factor for this process due to low microbial presence which can be caused by lack of soil aeration due to a low Ca/Mg ratio, low Cobalt, low ph (below 5.8) and low moisture content. It is likely that low Ca/Mg ratio is the most limiting factor for biological presence in these soils. Low levels of Zinc, Boron and Manganese warrant the inclusion of initial remedial action in this program, monitoring of all trace element levels is advised, with fine tuning to be done after the macro-nutrients have been bought closer to their desirable levels. Fulvic and Humic acids can play a significant part in improving this soil. Fulvic for its ability to penetrate and increase soil aeration, promote root growth and enhance soil structure. Humic acid or Humates for their ability to increase soil humus content, to buffer or protect plant roots from nutrient excesses and to promote the conversion of Phosphorus and other elements into plant available form by enhancing soil biology. Audit of fertilizer requirements to raise deficient nutrients to desirable levels in this sample. A B C 2470 kg/ha 2612 kg/ha 2597 kg/ha Sulphate S 57 kg/ha 50 kg/ha 41 kg/ha Potassium K 400 kg/ha 300 kg/ha Zinc 10.4 kg/ha 9.4 kg/ha 8.2 kg/ha Manganese 35.8 kg/ha 25.4 kg/ha 21.6 kg/ha Boron 2.6 kg/ha 2.4 kg/ha 2.2 kg/ga Recommendations: is the first consideration in all soil improvement programs. The addition of agricultural bulk lime, where extreme deficiencies exist, could be considered for the longer term if budget allows. The addition of Gypsum ( Sulphate) as a source would also supply the necessary Sulphur to increase the content to a desirable level. Liquid Sulphur is an excellent liquid alternative Sulphur source. FCMP (Fused /Magnesium Phosphate), Rock Phosphate or MAP is recommended as a starter and long term source of phosphorus. Your base Phosphorous levels will need to be maintained.

4 Low Potassium levels would best be addressed with the addition of liquid Potassium Humate if deficiency is marginal. If solid application is preferred, Potassium Sulphate or Potassium Nitrate is the recommended source. Avoid Potassium Chloride (Potash) if possible, as the chloride can be very harmful to soil biology. Formula 1 microbial soil rebuild is a concentrated microbial compound including an initial food source, based on bacillus bacterium, designed to increase and enhance microbial presence and activity in the soil. This will boost organic matter decomposition, thereby increasing the all important soil humus content and in turn, nutrient availability for plants. Zinc6/Boron2 chelate is a most effective soil or foliar application for dealing with Zinc and Boron deficiency, application rates can range up to ltrs/ha. Manganese chelate is a most effective soil or foliar application for dealing with Manganese deficiency, application rates can range up to 15 ltrs/ha. We recommend regular soil testing to monitor nutrient levels and establish a fertility improvement trend.
