Fertiliser Advisory Service
SASRI’s Fertiliser Advisory Service (FAS) has been making it possible for farmers to take the guesswork out of crop nutrition for over 65 years.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory offers comprehensive analytical packages. Most importantly, customised nutrient recommendations are provided for a range of agricultural crops.
Each year, the laboratory processes large volumes of soil, leaf, fertiliser, compost and irrigation water samples from South Africa and other African countries. Enterprises include sugarcane, sub-tropical fruit, nut crops (including macadamias), grain crops, pastures, vegetables, gardens, nurseries, golf courses and bowling greens.

No strings attached.
Why consider soil analysis?
Optimum yields
We help take the guess work out of farming. Soil analysis is important to optimise production while efficiently managing your resources.
Savings on fertiliser
Quality soil and leaf analysis informs you of your fertiliser requirements to obtain your crop target yield. By ensuring you are applying the correct type and rate of nutrient, you will ensure the best value from your fertiliser investment.
Sustainable farming
Early detection of harmful soil conditions such as acidity and salinity build-up, nutrient imbalances and overloads, and the depletion of organic matter.
