Management - Nexus Agronomy

Management

Nexus Agronomy directs site specific management systems to support predetermined yield results, the development of people, and a sustainable environment. Measured actions support the accountability of what we do.

Working in partnership with clients, we develop a program they can continue to reference. This allows the client to gain the advantages of consulting, help to set targets, train and reach targets, and for personnel to implement and continue. We transfer skills to our clients.

Nexus Agronomy maintains working relationships with independent consultants from a range of disciplines. These specialists can be called in to a team as necessary, for larger and more complex projects.

Case Studies

Case Study One

What: Agronomy - Client’s desire to improve soil quality for increased production.

How: Series of soil analysis with nutrition recommendations.

Result: First year of change produced a 40% increase in production, while chemical & fertiliser was reduced by 23%. Appropriate material selection and timing of nutrient applications in the crop cycle improved nutrient availability. Not all increase is attributed to our agronomy work. This farmer is developing a continuous improvement cycle that includes variety trials each year, and a strategy built from a clear vision and goals.

Case Study Two

What: Human Resources - Organisation Capability (Phase One) – Client’s desire to identify gaps in performance across organisation, develop training and development program.

How: Business values analysis, develop performance appraisal to include organisation, teams and individuals.

Result: Analysis revealed several gaps in performance due to lack of clarity in Vision, Goals and Strategy. Plan for developing organisation wide improvement, including deeper analysis and manager training.

Case Study Three

What: Stone Fruit and Premium Wine grapes – Soil quality, soil and plant microbiology in alkaline soils.

How: Soil and plant tissue analysis, composting on site using local materials.

Result: Changed nutrient management program with greater focus on inclusion of biological materials. Spray programs modified to include biological materials.
