Agronomy

ORDCO employs full time Agronomists and a team of scouts to provide support to local growers through the provision of a comprehensive range of analytical and diagnostic services.

Whilst most of our work is in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) we also support pastoral clients undertaking irrigated and dryland cropping from the Pilbara through to the Northern Territory.

Our Agronomists have been at the forefront of developing cotton crop management strategies in the region and ORDCO is the Technology Service Provider (TSP) for Cotton Seed Distributors (CSD) as a result.  Services we provide include:

• Fee for service consultation on crop protection and irrigation
• Integrated pest management systems
• Pest and disease identification
• Weed identification and herbicide programs
• Nutrition diagnostics
• Soil testing
• Leaf testing
• Sap testing
• Water testing
• Soil Moisture Probes
