Crop Nutrient Management & Soil Health Plan

$1,200.00

Our Annual Crop Nutrient Management & Monitoring Plans are customized for the nutrient and water demands for each of your tree crops and are based on regenerative and natural farming methods for improving crop and soil health and fertility. The plan includes:

  • Soil lab sample to identify any pH or nutrient deficiencies, the conductivity and nutrient holding capacity of your soil, any build-up of salts (saline or sodic conditions) and if you have enough carbon and nitrogen in your system to fuel soil biology and crop needs to ensure nutrient availability and cycling;

  • Recommendations for soil amendments and fertilizer applications based on soil and leaf tissue analysis (along with actions to correct any soil health or fertility issues);

  • Monitoring map of your existing and proposed trees;

  • Inventory of each tree crop (including the age and size of the trunk diameter & canopy);

  • Identification of the essential nutrients for each type of tree crop;

  • Annual fertilizer schedule and application rate (based on the age, size and phonological stage of each tree);

  • Application methods and equipment.

*Crop Water Demand & Irrigation Schedule and Integrative Pest Management (IPM) strategies can be added to your plan.

Cost is based on the complexity of your tree crops and area (number of trees and sq. ft. or acreage). An estimate can be provided after your initial Soil Lab Test and Site Visit.

The plan can be used to guide your own management or these services can be provided for you through our Annual Crop Nutrient & Management Program.

Starting at $1,200. Please email: regenerativebydesign@gmail.com for a quote.

The Crop Nutrient Report is our basic package and includes the following:

  • Soil fertility sample collection and submission to lab (one sample based on up composite of up to 8 representative locations);

  • Plant leaf tissue sample collection and submission to lab (1 sample);

  • Soil sample collection and submission to lab to test for total carbon present and carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio in your soil (1 sample);

  • Map identifying areas sampled (based on diagnostic or prescriptive crop needs) and recommendations for a basic annual soil testing program to monitor improvements over time; 

  • Recommendations for specific types of soil amendments and carbon amendments (e.g. vermicast, compost, biochar), application rates, frequency & methods. Recommendations are based on targets for growing food that is nutrient-dense.

    *Shipping and tax for the soil sample not included

    **Soil paste, sap analysis and soil or water toxicity lab results available upon request as an add-ons and not including in the cost of this report.
