This is an essential part of profitable farm management for all field crops. Based on the soil fertility problems identified in the soil test, we recommend a soil health correction program and a crop specific fertilizer program, meaning farmers are always investing wisely by applying the right inputs, at the right quantity, to increase yields and profitability.
Cropnuts has designed an intuitive report format that visualizes the recommendations and clearly highlights the various soil correction measures for your farm. This will enable you save money by giving you the exact soil correction quantities for your farm hence minimizing wastage.

Test for Macro and Micro Nutrients in the soil for open fields and greenhouses available for plant use.
We then provide validated field trail fertilizer and lime recommendations that assist in soil amendment and optimal fertilizer use, reducing farming costs.
Test for Blight causing bacteria, Fungi and Nematodes; beneficial and harmful, in open field and greenhouse soils offering the farmers best preventive and curative techniques for optimum yields.
We do physical structure such as texture and acidity, living organism and heavy metal tests to help you better understand your farms suitability for growing various crops and how best utilize water.
Achieving the correct balance of soil nutrients is the best investment a farmer can make. A well balanced, highly mineralized soil will result in improved soil biological activity meaning less disease and pest pressure and lower requirement for fertilizer inputs – in short, high yielding healthy crops with less inputs.
To put this in context, barley farming in Kenya produces an average yield of somewhere between 2.5 and 3.0 t/ha. So thanks to the Agventure Centre of Excellence and CropNuts Trials Networks, we take a look at how this was achieved, and what lessons can be put into practice on your farm.
