How Many Tests Do You Need?
We recommend 1 test per management zone of any given crop.
- Example 1: Growing corn in 2 management zones → 2 BeCrop® Tests
- Example 2: Corn in 1 zone + wheat in 2 zones → 3 BeCrop® Tests
What is a management zone?
A management zone is an area in your field with similar yield potential due to factors such as soil type, elevation, or weather patterns.
When to Test
The right timing depends on your goals:
- Pre-planting: Benchmark soil health before the season
- In-season: Monitor and adjust during growth
- Post-harvest: Prepare for the next season
Most customers test 1–3 times per year.
