BSE Soil Analysis – Suitable for Meeting SFI Scheme Requirements
By carrying out this soil analysis you will receive an Organic Matter % figure to meet point number 3 of the requirements. You will also receive data on pH, element concentrations in the soil and a physical analysis with your soil composition.
The SFI actions include SAM1 which requires and incentivises the carrying out of a soil analysis and creation of a soil management plan in return for payment under the agreement.
Land that is eligible for this is as follows:
- Arable land.
- Permanent grassland.
- Land used for perennial crops (such as fruit and flowers).
In order to complete the SAM1 action the following must be completed:
- Carry out a soil assessment across all land entered into the scheme.
- Produce a soil management plan for this land.
- Test the Soil Organic Matter (SOM) levels for all land entered within the last 5 years.
Elements analysed are:
- Phosphate
- Potassium
- Magnesium
- Calcium
- Sulphur
- Sodium
- Manganese
- Copper
- Iron
- Zinc
- Molybdenum
- Boron
How does a soil analysis work?
- On placing your order we will send over a soil sample bag and addressed pre-paid envelope.
- Take a number of soil samples from different areas of your plot, until the bag is half full.
- Post back your soil to the laboratory for analysis.
- Results are generally available in around 10 working days after posting to the laboratory.
- If you would like your results interpreted by one of our FACTS qualified technical advisors, please get in touch via email or phone (0330 165 5568) to request this.
