The Program
A season plan in writing.
A block-by-block program you can hold the season against: products, rates, and timing, with the reasoning behind each recommendation shown.
Your lab results in. Your season's program out.
Sapling is a full agronomy service, not just a fertilizer supplier. Send us your soil and leaf analyses and you get back a written fertilizer program for the season, and a blend made for your farm. It isn't an add-on. It's how we work with every farmer.
The fertilizer is the outcome, not the starting point.
Most suppliers sell product. Some consultants sell advice. We close the loop: the agronomist who interprets your results writes your program, and that same program drives our blending plant. Nothing gets lost between the recommendation and the bag.
What goes into that bag is what your soil and your crop actually need, not the closest off-the-shelf grade.
How it works.
01
We analyse.
Your soil and leaf lab results are interpreted for you: every block, every nutrient, measured against South African crop-specific norms from FERTASA and SASRI. Properly cited science, not rules of thumb.
02
We recommend.
You receive a professional, written fertilizer program for the season: what each block needs, how much, and when. Pre-season corrections, in-season applications, and foliar timing, matched to your crop and its growth stages.
03
We supply.
The program feeds straight into our blending. Your fertilizer is custom-blended to what your farm needs, on the same high-carbon base as every Sapling product.
What you walk away with.
The Program
The Blend
Fertilizer made for your farm.
Your program becomes your recipe. We blend it at our plant, so the product you spread is the one your soil analysis called for.
The Agronomist
Someone who knows your blocks.
You deal with an agronomist who has worked through your numbers and stays with you through the season, not a call centre.
Software behind it. People in front of it.
Our in-house agronomy engine reads every analysis and builds the draft program against the published norms for your crop. Your agronomist checks it, adjusts it for what the numbers can't see, and signs it off. You never log into anything: you send results and talk to a person.
Send us your soil results.
That's all it takes to start. No recent analyses? We'll help you arrange sampling. Either way, you get a program worth reading and a quote to go with it.
