C A Agricultural Services can help you determine your field nutrient levels and soil enrichment needs. As well as measuring those all-important phosphate (P), potash (K) and magnesium (Mg) levels, we have the expertise and equipment to test, according to your requirements, for the presence of around 30 other micro-nutrients as well as Organic Matter sampling for all your SFI requirements.

We can do this at the same time as we measure your pH levels.
Regular soil sampling is a vital management tool, a requirement for Farming Rules for Water and an SFI option.
You need good nutrient levels in your land to ensure optimum crop or stock health and yield and to ensure a beneficial interactive relationship with any other chemicals or sprays you may wish to use.
If you have enjoyed a particularly high crop yield you may like us to check the residual nutrient level after harvesting. In any case, we would recommend a comprehensive soil test every four years. Many of our customers have taken out a four-year support plan with us, which means we test a quarter of their land in rotation for pH and nutrient levels each year.
Enviromental Schemes
Due to the introduction of new environmental schemes, we can now sample consistently down to a depth of 30cm for organic matter and carbon using our automatic sampler.
