OMEX Launch Next Generation SAP Service in the UK

Making a highly accurate and topical assessment of a plant’s true nutritional status using its own sap, rather than relying on the conventional tissue testing option, has been paying dividends for OMEX customers for decades

OMEX Agriculture has further developed it’s UK based SAP analysis service, which marks the companies next generation of SAP Analysis testing. The new system encompasses the traditional benefits its customers expect, such as a 72 hour turnaround and agronomist verified reports. However. the new testing system offers growers 20+ test parameters and a refreshed report layout to help make input decisions even more accurate.

Updates!

OMEX’s upgraded SAP analysis service allows growers to make more accurate and better informed decisions about the actual level of crop nutrients available in a crop, and what is then required to ensure the best performance of that crop is achieved.

Maintaining a 72hr service from the time the samples reach OMEX laboratories through to the customer receiving the SAP results, OMEX has also increased the number of parameters it can test to more than 20 and includes parameters such as NO3 (Nitrate), NH4 (Ammonium), P, K, Mg, S, Ca, Na, Cl, Mn, B, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mo, Si, pH, EC (electrical conductivity) and Brix (content of sugars).

National agronomy manager, Scott Baker discusses SAP

“OMEX is the innovator of the unique SAP service in the UK,” explains national agronomy manager, Scott Baker. “Its accuracy is far superior to conventional tissue testing because it measures what has actually been taken up by a plant, and can thus help diagnose rooting problems and availability issues.”

Mr Baker adds that routinely monitoring crops is vital to understand how a crop is performing nutritionally, and analysing the sap helps guide agronomic decisions on foliar nutrition options.

How do we diagnose and advise?

OMEX has a team of FACTS and BASIS qualified advisors to support and advise on nutritional decisions. combined with the support of a worldwide research and development facility using laboratory and UK field testing facilities.

“As part of OMEX’s Greener Planet Commitment the company continues to invest in its sustainable farming services and SAP Analysis forms a key part of that,” explains Mr Baker. “Having cutting edge technology at our UK labs is helping furnish our customers with the information needed to make rapid decisions about crop inputs.”
