SMN Plus Soil Testing<\/h2>\n

Understanding your soil nitrogen profile is a crucial part of farming efficiently. Due to the unprecedented rainfall<\/a> farmers across the UK have faced over the past year, it\u2019s important to get an accurate picture ahead of the Spring 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Utilising SMN Plus <\/em><\/strong>testing helps farmers understand two types of nitrogen within the soil:<\/p>\n

1) \u201cN Now\u201d \u2013 Soil Mineral Nitrogen (SMN) which is directly available at the time of sampling for crop uptake but also prone to leaching.<\/p>\n

2) \u201cN Later\u201d \u2013 N which will become available through mineralisation of organic matter and taken up by the crop between time of sampling and harvest. The latter is important for soils with high organic matter, after organic manure inputs, or after grass or vegetables and can contribute to considerable fertiliser savings<\/p>\nContact Us<\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
