澳大利亚农民利用春季植物测试发现关键的养分短缺情况,改善牧场和牲畜健康。 Australian farmers use spring plant tests to detect key nutrient shortages, improving pasture and livestock health.

春季的植物组织测试有助于澳大利亚畜牧生产者根据维多利亚和南澳大利亚5 300多个样本提供的数据,查明铜、、和锌基养分在牧场生长和动物健康方面的缺陷。 Plant tissue testing in spring helps Australian livestock producers identify deficiencies in copper, molybdenum, boron, and zinc—key nutrients for pasture growth and animal health—based on data from over 5,300 samples across Victoria and South Australia. 测试比土壤测试更准确地评估养分的吸收情况,特别是无法在土壤中可靠测量的的土壤测试。 Testing provides a more accurate assessment of nutrient uptake than soil tests, especially for molybdenum, which cannot be reliably measured in soil. 缺陷会损害植物发育、减少豆类持久性和伤害抗体健康,而过量的可能会引发动物的铜缺乏。 Deficiencies can impair plant development, reduce legume persistence, and harm ruminant health, while excess molybdenum may trigger copper deficiency in animals. 有针对性的肥料和提高效率的产品有助于纠正不平衡现象,减少氮流失。 Targeted fertilizers and enhanced-efficiency products help correct imbalances and reduce nitrogen loss.
