Basic Analysis for Sports Turf and Green Areas
The Soil Analysis provides an initial assessment of soil condition. This package also reports the soil's nitrogen and sulphur supplying capacity, offering valuable insight into nutrient availability for crop growth and fertilisation planning.
What is Basic Fertilisation Analysis for Sports Turf and Green Areas?
Healthy growth is the foundation of resilient plants. This applies to both sports turf and public green spaces. To achieve this, soil fertility and fertilisation must be properly managed, and soil analysis provides the necessary insight.
Basic Fertilisation Analysis for Sports Turf and Green Areas gives an initial assessment of soil condition. In addition to key soil parameters, this package also reports the soil’s nitrogen-supplying capacity and sulphur-supplying capacity, helping you make informed decisions about fertilisation and soil management.
Why Limited Fertilisation Analysis for Sports and Amenity Areas Matters
Optimal soil fertility contributes to strong, healthy plant growth. As a result, the reliance on chemical crop protection products on and around sports fields, golf courses and public green spaces can be reduced.
To take the right management measures, it is essential to understand what the soil needs. Limited Fertilisation Analysis for Sports and Amenity Areas provides an initial assessment of soil condition and fertility. The analysis offers valuable insight into the soil's nutrient status and its nitrogen and sulphur supplying capacity, supporting informed decisions on fertilisation and turf or plant management.
How do you use Limited Fertilisation Analysis for Sports and Amenity Areas?
A representative soil sample is analysed for a set of key parameters, including pH, organic matter, organic carbon, phosphate (P-Al, plant-available P and Pw), potassium reserves, magnesium availability, clay content, and an overall assessment of soil quality.
Based on these results, a fertilisation recommendation is provided for nitrogen, sulphur, phosphate, potassium, magnesium and lime. This enables grounds managers and green space professionals to make informed decisions that support healthy plant growth and sustainable soil management.
All analyses are performed using established, accredited methods, ensuring reliable and consistent results.
When should you use Limited Fertilisation Analysis for Sports and Amenity Areas?
This analysis is suitable when you need a quick assessment of soil condition, for example when developing a maintenance plan, investigating concerns about soil quality, or determining whether fertilisation practices need to be adjusted.
It is also an excellent choice for sports fields and amenity areas that require regular monitoring, but where a fully comprehensive soil analysis package is not always necessary. The results provide practical insight into key soil characteristics, supporting effective fertilisation and turf or plant management decisions.
Parameters analysed in this analysis
Samples are analysed using prescribed and documented methods. The analysis report includes a brief description of each method and indicates which methods are accredited by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA); these are marked with a Q.
When assessing compliance against statutory standards, and where results are compared directly with limit values, measurement uncertainty is not taken into account.
