[QUOTE="Secret Agronomist, post: 7245041, member: 153120"] "it's only £1 per acre"!!!!! The real benefit is on the higher value crops but its finding what to change is the real problem. On potatoes you could use it to see what effect a treatment would have and it does show up differences between seed stocks, but by the time you see a difference it's too late to do anything. Soil texture analysis would be good on root crops to vary seed rate as (especially with potatoes) you get big differences in tuber numbers between soils types, and could possibly be applied to carrots as well to increase seed rate in heavier parts of fields. In an ideal world all of these things would be repeatable from year to year but as we know the weather varies too much for that! [/QUOTE]
