Get the Right Advice for Healthier Crops and Better Yields
Recommendations
How we work
Recommendations are practical guidelines for fertilser and nutrient use, based on your soil or leaf analysis results. They tell you what your crops need – for example, how much of each nutrient or fertiliser to apply – so you don’t have to guess. This way, you won’t waste money on the wrong fertiliser, and your crops will get the right nutrients for healthy growth and a good yield.
For sugarcane, we include detailed fertilser and nutrient recommendations as part of our complete analysis service, at no extra charge. This means you get expert guidance that follows the latest local and international scientific research. We base this advice on decades of studies and farming experience. Each recommendation is tailored to your specific sugarcane fields, considering the yield you aim to achieve and how you manage your field.
For other crops, including fruit and nut trees (like macadamia, avocado, pecan, litchi, and citrus), as well as vegetables and other field (row) crops, we offer a basic fertiliser recommendation package on request. This service is optional and comes at an additional cost (we charge a fee for it). If you’re interested in nutrient advice for these crops, please contact our FAS Administrator for more information or to get a quote.

Analysis Results
Results for sugarcane samples are provided in an easy-to-read PDF report, complete with the corresponding recommendations. In addition, we will send you a customised Excel spreadsheet version of the report. This Excel file makes it easy for you to integrate the results and recommendations into your own record-keeping or farm planning system.
For other crops, we provide the analysis results in a tailored Excel spreadsheet file. If you chose to include recommendations for these crops (the extra-cost option), we will include those nutrient recommendations in the spreadsheet as well.
For convenience, we will email all analysis reports to the address you provided on your submission form.
