This gives Pursehouse Rural Agronomists and their clients early insight into the most optimal choices for the upcoming growing season.

Soil & Nutrient Management
The nutritional status of plants has a dramatic effect on its resistance to disease and insects and directly impacts both yield and profitability. For a crop to maximise yield potential, adequate levels of nutrients must be supplied to the plant via soil reserve or applied fertiliser. Pursehouse Rural agronomy offers a range of services which sample soil and tissue on a more intense scale.
Pursehouse Rural Agronomists have the ability to split fields into subsections, which allows variation in soil and crop nutrition status to be determined more accurately. This allows for nutritional inputs to be applied more accurately.
Our experienced and progressive agronomy team provides expert nutritional advice aimed at maximising crop performance. Agronomy services that are available include grid or zone sampling, DNA disease identification, plant tissue testing and grain analysis. Pursehouse Rural is also a large supplier of fertilisers, making the implementation of nutrient management plans easy and efficient.

Increase profits, decrease costs, grow sustainably
By understanding the nutrient content and pH levels of your soil, you can make the most informed decisions about what types of crops to plant and which fertilisers and inputs to use. This can help to optimise crop performance and maximise profits.
Soil sample testing can also help to identify and address any potential soil health issues, such as nutrient imbalances or soil compaction. By addressing these issues, you can improve the overall health and fertility of soil, which again, can lead to better crop profitability.
In addition to these benefits, soil sample testing can also help to minimise the use of fertilisers and other chemicals, which can be expensive and can have negative environmental impacts if used excessively. By using soil sample testing to more precisely target their fertilisation and lime application, you can reduce input costs, increase profit and help to protect the environment.
Agronomy Exchange
There is an established overseas agronomist exchange program where companies can send their employees to Australia and Pursehouse Rural can send their agronomists on reciprocal visits. There is a benefit to all parties in information exchange to the agronomist and the Pursehouse Rural farmer customers.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pursehouse Rural for an unforgettable trip to Australia. It was a great experience! The time spent looking at their operations with growers and agronomists were most interesting and enjoyable. Pursehouse provided me with useful knowledge from Australian agriculture; I am taking a lot back to America” – Danny Hensley, Fertizona Arizona USA
