Farm Visits
There are several visits to the farm during the production cycle. These isits aim to optimize production which includes the financial and environmental impact on farm level.
Representative Land Soil Samples
The service offered by Kynoch includes the taking of soil samples according to a specific guidelines, the transport of the samples to the laboratory and the analysis of the samples according to the procedures requested. These results form the basis of our fertilizer proposals. All our soil analysis are processed and analysed at accredited laboratories to ensure accuracy and acceptable turnaround times.
Fertilizer Proposals
A target yield, soil fertility level (soil sample results) and scientifically based fertilizers guidelines are used to produce scientifically sound fertilizer propsals. These proposals are developed by qualified people who will also take the management and ttilage practices of the producer into account to make them prociscol for on-farm use. Special attention will also be given not to harm the environment and to make them financially affordable.

Crop Inspections and Seasonal Evaluations
Our in-house team of experienced Agriculturalists truly understands the science of crop producttion. It is extremely important to do regular crop inspections throughout the season. Possible nutrient deficiencies can be identified and timeously rectified to prevent any yield and/or quality losses. Any of these losses will have an impact on the profitability of the producer.
Other Analysis
We are also able to offer leaf analysis to see if there are any nutrient deficiencies. It can happen that the crop already experiences nutrient deficiencies, but the deficiency symptoms are not yet visible (hidden hunger). This hidden hunger can cost the farmer dearly in terms of profitability. Taking a leaf sample in the time can prevent these losses.
Water analysis for irrigation purposes is also important because water quality can have a direct influence on crop yield and quality. Kynoch can also take, analyse and interpret these samples and make a proposal towards the suitability of the water for crop production under irrigation.
