Fruit Tree lime spreading

Fruit Services

New in 2012, we are pleased to be collaborating with FAST (Farm Advisory Services Team) to provide a GPS soil testing and spreading service to fruit growers. Up to 24 soil samples are collected per hectare and independently analysed by FAST for pH, P, K and Mg at their laboratories. The results are used to generate an accurate map of the soil status, which can then be used by our machine to accurately apply lime and fertiliser precisely where it is required.

For those growers who require a more basic service, we are still pleased to offer the test-tube method to determine lime requirement, or to simply carry out blanket-rate lime applications in the traditional manner.
