The Chemical Environmental Laboratory conducts soil analyses. These analyses give valuable information on the quantities of available nutrients in the soil. Therefore, they can give advice to farmers on the type and quantity of fertilizer to be added in order to improve soil fertility and to meet the growing needs.

The soil and plant tissue analysis is necessary for:

• Optimizing the quality of agricultural products
• Increasing production.
• Reduction of production costs through the rational use of fertilizers.
• Protection of natural resources and reduce environmental pollution.

The soil sample analyses include:

pH, conductivity, total calcium, active calcium, potassium, total nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc, iron, boron, sodium, chlorine, sulphite, nitrate ions, ammonium ions, organic substance.
