Soil tests are an important aid in providing the optimum availability of nutrients for turf growth and to identify nutrient deficiencies and problems which can be addressed before a maintenance program is initiated.

Benefits of soil testing include:

• optimising plant health;
• reducing unnecessary maintenance practices and fertiliser applications; and
• removing the guess work from formulating fertliser plans.

This powerpoint presentation gives more detail about the benefits of soil tests and how to use them to your advantage.
