To understand soil health requirements to maximise pasture growth
• If you want to grow productive pastures/crops then you need to ‘feed’ or actively manage the soil to maintain productivity.
• Allowing soil pH to decline not only impacts on nutrient availability but also soil health.
• Regular soil testing (using the same sampling transect, same laboratory and sampling at the same time to the same depth) enables you to monitor your pH and available nutrient levels.
