Customized fertilizer programs based on comprehensive soil, plant, and water testing to maximize crop production and quality.
We take the guesswork out of your fertility program from planting to harvest.
Many growers are told to apply products without understanding why, or given programs without soil, plant, and water reports to explain the reasoning.
"Each field is different and may change year to year. Fertilizer programs need to adapt to match goals and soil/plant needs through the growing season."
Five key elements in fertility decision-making
Starting point showing soil structure, pH, positives/negatives, and crop needs.
Quality of water and potential effects on soil and crop.
Periodic sampling through growing season for snapshots of plant health.
Review comparing removal rates to initial fertility program.
Review of all data with field personnel and observations before/after applications.
We discuss your crops, goals, and current practices to understand your operation.
We collect and analyze soil, water, and plant samples from your fields.
Based on test results, we create a customized fertility program for your specific needs.
We help you implement the program with product recommendations and application guidance.
Throughout the season, we monitor results and adjust as needed for optimal outcomes.
We start with soil test results, water quality analysis, and your crop/yield goals. Information about past fertilizer applications, crop history, and any known problems helps us tailor recommendations. Our five-element approach combines soil, water, plant tissue, nutrient removal rates, and field observations.
Consultation costs vary based on operation size and complexity. Many growers find that optimized fertility programs reduce overall input costs by 10-20% while improving yields. We focus on applying what you need, when you need it—which often means spending less, not more.
No. We recommend the products that best fit your situation, whether organic or conventional, from our line or others. Our goal is results for your operation. That said, our products are formulated specifically for California growing conditions and we stand behind their performance.
Programs should be reviewed annually based on new soil tests and previous season results. Within the growing season, tissue samples may indicate needed adjustments. Fields change over time—what worked five years ago may need updating as soil conditions and crop demands evolve.
Yes. We work with many certified organic operations and understand USDA NOP requirements. Our OMRI-listed product line is designed for organic production, and we can help document inputs and practices for your certifier.
