Soil and Herbage Testing

Up to date soil tests are essential in order to offer accurate advice and recommendations. Our team of Area Managers undertake all of their own soil and herbage testing as we see it as a great opportunity to look around the farm and to get more insight into how we can best assist with our products and service.

Quantity and frequency of soil testing typically depends on farm type, farm size, farm intensity and changing factors. Contact your Dickie Direct Area Manager to enquire about soil testing for your farm.

Herbage testing is undertaken on crops and pasture and is typically undertaken when a limiting factor has been identified that is not shown in soil tests.

Dickie Direct work with Hill Laboratories for all soil and herbage testing.
