## Agronomy Support for Australian Nurseries

Guesswork is expensive. Fernland’s agronomy support gives nursery growers accurate data on media, water and plant health — interpreted by our own agronomist and turned into a practical program for your operation, not a generic recommendation.

What Our Agronomy Team Delivers

- Nutritional Evaluations — Full nutrient profiling of your crop and feeding program — find the gap between what you apply and what the plant gets.

- Growing Media Analysis — Air-filled porosity, pH, EC and nutrient status of your mixes — before problems show up on the bench.

- Water Quality Testing — Salinity, bicarbonates, pH and contaminants — make sure your irrigation water is working for your crop, not against it.

- Tissue Testing — Real-time nutrient uptake analysis that catches deficiencies before they become visible — and costly.

- Disease Diagnosis — Accurate identification of pathogens so you treat the right problem the first time.

- IPM Programs — Integrated pest management built around monitoring, thresholds and beneficial-compatible chemistry.

- On-Site Consultations — Walk the nursery with our agronomist — benches, media, water and program reviewed where the plants actually grow.

- Custom Programs — Every test comes back as a practical, product-matched program for your nursery — not just a lab report.

## How It Works

- **Sample & test** — we arrange media, water or tissue sampling through accredited laboratories.
- **Interpret** — our agronomist reads the results against your crop, climate and growing system.
- **Program** — you get a practical, product-matched program built from your data.
- **Follow up** — we review results on site and adjust the program as your crop and season change.
