Irrigation Scheduling

Black Earth has developed the use of EM38's to measure soil moisture levels in a variety of soils.

Crop Scouting

Black Earth Agronomy offers comprehensive crop scouting with surveys of crops performed twice per week. We understand that field conditions can change rapidly within a short space of time and so maintain flexible field scouting schedules to match those conditions.

Weed Management

We will regularly visit your field to determine the weed types present, their distribution and the best course of action to maximise yield while minimising the weed's seed bank.

Gross Margin Analysis

We can provide a detailed picture of the costs and potential income for a range of different crops so you can make informed decisions for the upcoming season..

History
