Troubleshooting: on-site investigation, identification and resolution

Strategic Resolution of Crop Performance Issues through Root-Zone Analysis

In response to a client's persistent crop performance issue, unresolved by both the client and their agronomists, our team conducted a comprehensive investigation. Through meticulous site visits, in-depth research, and targeted trial work, we identified the root cause: a root-zone contamination issue.

Our approach didn't stop at diagnosis. We developed and presented two strategic solutions, each tailored to different operational and economic considerations:

1. An immediate, permanent resolution: This option offered quick results but was more labour-intensive.
2. A step-by-step solution: This approach promised gradual improvement over time, balancing long-term benefits with resource allocation.

Each solution came with its own set of economic and operational advantages and disadvantages, allowing the client to make an informed decision based on their specific needs and constraints.

Outcome:

- Successful identification of root-zone contamination as the core issue
- Provision of two viable, strategically different solutions
- Client empowerment through informed decision-making
- Implementation of the chosen solution, resulting in a remarkable 50% increase in crop yield
