BodemCheck
BodemCheck is a rapid soil analysis that analyzes the quantity of readily available nutrients. These are the nutrients dissolved in the soil moisture and directly accessible to the crop. This allows for adjustments during cultivation. The report provides you with advice that takes into account nutrient supply from the soil and is presented in duplicate: a 4-week recommendation and a recommendation for the entire cultivation period. Recommendation Recommendations are provided for the next four weeks and for the entire cultivation period. The advice is available for over 200 crops. There is no advice for pasture and mowing grassland.
