Agronomy
Available only at select CRT independent businesses, store agronomists may be able to provide you with soil management and crop production strategies to help you get more from your crop. For soil management and crop production, it starts with CRT.
Even for the most experienced growers, there’s always something new to learn when it comes to crop production. Select CRT independent stores offer agronomy advice to you, and can help work with you to get more out of your crops.
Agronomic Services
Soil testing and interpretation
Soil testing and interpretation services from select CRT independent stores may help you understand the current status of your soil, and how it could be improved to help your crop yield. Local CRT independent stores may have agronomists who could help you with information like fertiliser choices, soil management, and fertiliser additions.
Crop protection product recommendations
Select CRT independent store agronomists may be able to help you identify crop protection products which may suit your farm – for example:
- Insecticides, fungicides and herbicides
- Products for pre-emergent crops
- Products for post-emergent crops
In-crop plant tissue testing
Select CRT independent stores may have agronomists who could assist you with testing in-crop plant tissue to assess the nutritional status of the crop. Outcomes vary, but may include:
- Information on the current nutritional status of the crop
- Identification of areas of concern
- Recommendation of strategies which might help improve the nutritional outcomes of the crop
Mapping services
Certain CRT independent stores may offer mapping services to help you gain insights into the soil on your farm. An understanding of the soil composition in different areas of your property could help you unlock strategies to help improve yields in underperforming paddocks. Other mapping services that may be provided at select CRT independent stores are property mapping and paddock yield mapping.
Combined Rural Traders Pty Limited does not provide these services and/or advice. Services, advice and offerings vary based on the independent store, and testing may be provided by other third party providers (separate from the CRT independent store and from Combined Rural Traders Pty Limited).
