Before you plant a single seed, your soil already holds the answer to your harvest. Yet too many farmers in Zimbabwe still guess when it comes to fertiliser plans. The difference between good and great yields often comes down to this: do you understand your soil?
What is Soil Testing?
Soil testing is the process of analysing your soil’s nutrient profile, pH, organic matter, and other properties to understand what your land needs — and what it doesn’t.
Why It Matters:
- Prevents over- or under-application of fertilisers
- Saves money by using only what’s necessary
- Improves crop growth and quality
- Enhances long-term soil fertility and structure
Common Problems We See:
- Acidic soils (low pH) affecting nutrient availability
- Poor zinc or boron levels in maize and tobacco fields
- High salt content in irrigated horticulture plots
