Research into immediate cropping limitations is a cornerstone in providing the very best agronomy services possible and nobody is better equipped to identify where the gaps are in available research outcomes than the people charged with monitoring your cropping system.

Outlook Ag is not only a member of every current public research facility in our regions but is also investing its own capital into specific research questions across our client’s farms. We are also collaborating with Ag input suppliers in designing and managing research sites across multiple regions targeting specific information gaps identified by our agronomy team.

Understanding risk is integral to building a resilient farming system and the agronomists at Outlook Ag utilise an extensive suite of laboratory testing facilities to inform their ICM strategies.

Pre-season checks include soil testing for full nutrition status via multiple providers and labs, soil DNA testing for all major soil borne diseases and nematodes, stubble testing for major crop residue borne diseases, seed testing for common seed borne pathogens, in-crop tissue/petiole testing for crop nutrition monitoring and early disease detection and extensive networking with Australian and international pathology experts regarding new breakthroughs in disease detection and control strategies.

Outlook Ag has been engaged by Australia’s largest and leading seed supply companies for over a decade, supplying critical IP in hybrid seed production systems. We have built a strong reputation for partnering leading growers with the suppliers of industry leading genetics creating enviable financial results for both.
