Our BASIS and FACTS qualified agronomists work closely with growers and customers to optimise crop production to ensure a successful, efficient and profitable harvest. Our unique position within Greenvale’s vertically integrated supply chain allows us to offer comprehensive support, from variety selection to market intelligence and customer feedback.

  • We provide detailed soil analysis to inform crop management decisions. Using various sampling methods, from traditional “W” sampling to precision GPS mapping, our services include pH analysis, N, P, K and micro nutrient mapping, and pest assessments including Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN) or Free-living Nematode (FLN).

    We also test for some key foliar and tuber diseases, such as powdery scab and verticillium wilt.

  • Our bespoke services support growers with varying levels of agronomic resource and expertise. We offer technical and commercial support throughout the supply chain from production to storage.

  • Our team’s deep understanding of potato varieties helps our growers to make informed choices on the best varieties for their land and the market they serve.

    Collaborating with Greenvale Seed, enables us to offer comprehensive support, from  seed sourcing to field to storage.

  • Our FACTS trained advisors create comprehensive nutrient management plans that match inputs to crop demand. Optimising fertiliser or organic manures, enhancing crop yield and quality, while effectively minimising environmental impact.

  • Our BASIS qualified agronomists offer expert crop protection guidance and tailored advice. We stay updated on the latest products, techniques and regulations, from new products and application techniques to changes in legislation and stewardship programs.

  • Effective water management is crucial. We provide irrigation scheduling advice based on climate, soil, variety, and market requirements. Our services include water balance calculations and crop scheduling models.

  • Our pre-harvest yield assessments provide accurate estimates of yield, size fraction, marketable size and quality prior to burn off. Detailed quality assessments can be tailored to specific customer requirements.

    We also offer early-season yield forecasting, based on a number of key crop metrics. This will provide an expectation of final yield and tuber size distribution from very early in the growing season.

  • Our team’s storage expertise helps optimise potato storage conditions. We provide guidance on store layout and design, regular monitoring and store control, CIPC stewardship, and regulatory compliance.
