Fisher German Menu Soil Matrix The government’s 25 Year Environment Plan recognises the value of soil and consequently the importance of soil quality. As a result, our team swiftly identified an opportunity for landowners and farmers to measure and then monitor their soil as a way of both improving productivity and the investment value of their land. Fisher German has developed an innovative technique of assessing and monitoring soil health & quality. Our Soils Matrix, developed in partnership with agronomy specialist Indigro, allows landowners to gain a scientific analysis of the soil they own and potentially quantify returns on money invested in soil health improvement in an accessible way. For farmers focused on the lowest cost of production and improving productivity the Soils Matrix offers a way of benchmarking. For anyone interested in soil health, the Soils Matrix provides a current snapshot as well as suggesting techniques that are most likely to improve soil health in the future. Technology The soils matrix is driven by a computer model which calculates a weighted score for the condition of that particular soil. Benefits There are clear benefits of improving organic matter in soil. A 1% increase in a soil’s organic matter: raises water-holding capacity by around 224,000 litres per hectare provides sufficient food for around 1,000kg earthworm biomass increases crop available nitrogen by approximately 30kg/ ha per year Agricultural Land Classification Reports We have experience and knowledge in undertaking Agricultural Land Classification reports for a variety of developments throughout the UK for projects including – housing developments proposed solar parks motorway service stations Our reports are generally required to define the specific land grade of a site which will then form part of a planning application for an alternative use.
