Crop Services

Crop production is becoming more and more reliant on an integrated approach to manage naturally occurring biological processes in soils and the surrounding environment as a means to reduce the pressure on crops from weeds, pests and disease without the use of chemicals.

We can help with the whole farm approach to the planning of your crop production systems. Benchmarking individual processes against industry standards for best practice in crop and soil husbandry whilst considering all the other essential parts of your farming enterprise. This advice is delivered through a one to one farm review with an easy to use follow up report and set of recommendations which highlights areas for improvement to avoid unnecessary loss and maintain yields.

We have listed just some of our crop services below, but please call, or email: advice@abacusagri.com to discuss your own specific requirements.
