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.
