Depending on your needs, we can create a package tailored to you and offer an individual service.
Any growing organism needs nutrition for growth and development. In the case of a plant, the nutrient medium is the soil. The more fertile the soil is and the more it is filled with the micro and macro elements necessary for the plant, the stronger the culture it nourishes. The most effective method for determining this level of fertility is to conduct a soil analysis, because this process helps us to detect any problems in a timely manner and, if they exist, to quickly take appropriate measures.
There is only one way to maintain soil fertility – gradual monitoring of the soil and culture. The goal of any agronomist and farmer is to get a bountiful harvest, not just once, but many times over the next few years. Achieving this goal is impossible without healthy soil, therefore we need constant control of both the elements that make up the soil and the nutrients needed by the plant in it, so that if necessary, we can assess the deficit in a timely manner and correct it.
At such a stage, we resort to such diagnostic methods as:
- symptoms of visual deficit;
- soil analysis;
- Analysis of the green mass of the plant (leaf, stem, tissues)
- Remote monitoring (use of such digital systems as EOS or drone monitoring)
If visual symptoms of deficiency are observed on the crop, it means that any kind of response is already late and we have lost a certain amount of the harvest that year. That is why the preliminary assessment of the soil is of great importance in the production of agricultural crops. At this time, it is determined to what extent the soil has the ability to supply the plant with sufficient nutrients both during the planting process and during the entire vegetation period.
Agrocompany Baraka offers farmers high-quality services in this area as well. More specifically, our soil specialists take soil samples according to European standards, and then the sample is sent to one of the leading Dutch laboratories in Europe – Eurofins Agro – for analysis.
Eurofins Agro is a leading organization in the field of biological sciences research. The laboratory was founded in 1987 and currently cooperates with about 1000 organizations in 50 countries, including exclusively with Baraka in Georgia. As one of the most innovative and quality-oriented companies, Eurofins Agro ideally meets such standards as: strictly controlled high quality, client confidentiality and constantly updated technologies.
CEC is based on the cation exchange capacity, otherwise known as the clay-humus complex. CEC indicates the amount of nutrients (cations) that the soil can bind. In other words, how much potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium cations the soil can bind and then release during plant growth. Low pH levels can cause a large amount of aluminum and H + ions to accumulate in the clay-humus complex, which in turn reduces the effectiveness of CEC.
The CEC indicator is a vital indicator of the level of soil fertility. It gives us information about the productivity limits of our plot. As we mentioned, CEC is a clay-humus complex, with which we can monitor and improve the organic mass of the soil. We can also improve the effectiveness of CEC by liming. CEC is, among other things, an indicator of soil structure. We have two ways to improve soil structure: if the pH level is low, we can resort to liming, which will increase the calcium concentration in the clay-humus complex. And if the pH level is high from the beginning, then we can use the plastering method, which will also increase the calcium level. Both actions will improve the calcium concentration in the clay-humus complex, which will lead to a much better soil structure, more oxygen, and a much better position for the start of the new season.
For a fruitful, high-quality harvest, it is necessary to properly feed the culture we grow based on its needs.
The joint recommendations issued by the Baraka Agrocompany and Eurofins Agro are based on two main ideas: we monitor the content of nutrients in the soil and the degree of their absorption by the plant throughout the vegetation period. We will also study which nutrients are deficient in the soil. This is a very important approach, because it is possible for the soil to have sufficient reserves of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and potassium available to the plant, but at the same time there is a deficiency of secondary elements. It is also possible for the soil to have all the micro and macro elements in the required amount, but only one micro element – magnesium – is deficient, in which case the farmer will receive a low-quality, small harvest.
By determining the mechanical composition, we determine the arrangement of the structural particles of the soil. Soil particles can be: clay, sand and silt. Among them, clay is the smallest particle, sand contains the largest fractions, and silt varies between these two. Knowing their distribution in the soil allows us to determine the risks of soil erosion and to timely address ways to eliminate them. For example, we can introduce limestone, gypsum into the soil, or simply add organic fertilizer. In the recommendations issued within the scope of soil analysis, Agrocompany Baraka offers the best solution for improving your soil structure. In addition, our agronomists will additionally provide recommendations regarding the optimal amount of irrigation water, as excessive irrigation can cause leaching of nutrients from the soil, such as nitrogen, sulfur and potassium. Therefore, it is important to issue the following recommendations based on the mechanical composition of the soil: the amount and intensity of irrigation water, the number, volume and timing of measures to improve soil structure and organic mass.
