GRASLANDER
Welcome to the inaugural edition
of GRASLANDER, a new soil
management manual produced by
Grasland and distributed via Senwes
Scenario, NWK Arena and Ons Eie
from Suidwes, magazines.
O
ur aim is to provide useful and indeed vital information about
the various aspects of soil management in agriculture. We have
selected several articles on the subject from various reputable
sources which will give you unprecedented insights into this
topic.
With the agri-industry currently enduring the worst drought in the country
in recordable history it is imperative that producers and stakeholders in the
industry utilise their resources in the most optimal way in order to extract the
best potential yields from their lands.
Agriculture is the cornerstone of food security in our country and the success
of our producers will have a direct impact on our prosperity as a nation.
Grasland Ondernemings is an aglime production and marketing company
with Senwes and NWK as its joint venture owners.
Grasland’s registered products are proven soil pH-neutralisers which
continue to deliver convincing results and increased profits for our customers.
Healthy soil ensures improved crop yields of impressive quality.
I hope you enjoy this first edition and feel free to keep it in a safe place to be
used as a reference. Also, remember to contact us at Grasland for any advice
you may need in the uses and application of aglime.
