Lordington Park Agronomy

Leading specialist in equine & deer grassland management. Expert in agroecology and conservation agriculture. Using Albrecht soil analysis, we customise soil fertility & grass species to satisfy your animals' nutritional requirements.

Agronomy is defined by the Oxford English dictionary as The science of soil management and crop production, and that is exactly what I practice.

Essentially I take the historic Organic principles from the late 1800s of sustainability and environmental harmony and then compliment that philosophy with modern soil science, appropriate fertiliser, and crucially the ideal grass species that will promote health and well-being.

Once that concept has been implemented this ideal is then enhanced further with Companion Plants that provide extra nutrition that is readily available for the animals to utilise, as it is plant derived, rather than man made.


This whole process is dependant on carrying out a comprehensive analytical survey of the prevailing soils ability to sustain the sward (Upper layers of soil covered in grass) This analysis would normally encompass assessing the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of the soil as this is the determinant of the soils ability to supply nutrition to the grass.

From this analysis a cost-effective fertiliser regimen can be generated.
