For dairy farmers and their agronomists

Turn soil, manure and silage reports into better forage decisions.

Bring soil tests, manure and slurry reports, and silage analyses together with field observations, applications and crop history. Work with your advisor to decide where manure is most useful, what additional fertiliser may be needed and how to improve the next cut. Turn reviewed recommendations into practical activities for your dairy farm.

Answer the questions behind your next application and silage cut.

Connect what the soil supplies, what manure adds and the quality of the forage harvested. SoilBeat keeps the evidence together so your advisor can turn it into a practical recommendation.

01

How much extra fertiliser do I need—and where should my slurry go?

Review soil nutrient status and crop goals alongside manure analysis, application rates and field history. SoilBeat gives your advisor the context to compare fields, account for the nutrients manure can supply and prepare targeted recommendations. Nutrient availability, timing and application method matter: total nutrients in a manure report are not the same as nutrients immediately available to the crop.

02

Why is this field producing disappointing forage?

Compare soil results, observations and previous applications with crop development and available plant measurements. Your advisor can investigate whether nutrient supply, uptake or growing conditions warrant attention. Keep the field context together rather than assuming that a disappointing crop simply needs more fertiliser.

03

Why is silage quality low—or potassium too high?

Review silage protein, digestibility, fermentation and mineral results alongside soil tests, manure history and cutting dates. Check which fields and cuts the sample represents, especially for a mixed clamp. Connected data helps your advisor investigate crop nutrition, harvesting and preservation together; it also gives your nutritionist useful context when reviewing forage allocation.

04

Did the recommendation work—and what should change next?

Keep the reviewed recommendation, actual applications, follow-up measurements and available yield and silage results together. Use Pulse and your advisor’s formulas and templates to prepare the next field or multizone plan. Publish approved advice as activities, record completion and review the evidence before adjusting the next recommendation.

Pulse already supports multizone fertiliser plans and customised recommendations. The dedicated Soil Fertilisation and Manure Calculator modules are planned for late October 2026.

How SoilBeat works

From connected reports to a reviewed plan for the next cut.

01

Bring the reports and context together.

Bring soil tests, manure and slurry analyses, and silage results into your agronomic record. Review sampling dates, originating fields and cuts, crop history and recorded applications alongside the reports.

02

Investigate the practical question.

Review fertiliser need, manure allocation, field performance or silage quality with your advisor. Where available, plant measurements and harvested dry-matter yields add evidence for interpreting uptake and nutrient removal.

03

Prepare and review the recommendation.

Use Pulse to draft a field or multizone recommendation, supported by your advisor’s formulas and existing templates. Your advisor reviews nutrient availability, field context, calculations, products, rates and timing before approving the plan.

04

Carry out the plan and learn from the results.

Publish approved recommendations as activities and record what was completed. Add new observations and analysis results so the next review builds on the previous application, crop and harvest.

Soil, manure and silage reports become a connected basis for reviewed recommendations, activities and follow-up.
