Basic Soil Test-NPK, OC, EC pH Analysis 

Description

A soil test is a scientific analysis of a soil sample to determine its physical and chemical properties. This process is crucial for various applications, including agriculture, construction, and environmental management. Here’s a detailed overview of what a soil test involves:

How Soil Testing Services Work
After placing the Order , you will recive a call for Soil Testing sample at your address within 1 to 3 days of placing the order,the soil sample will be picked up by a courier boy.

Method to take Soil Sample
Select 6 different location from the field for sample.
Dig a hold og aprox 6 inch (half a foot) deep as “V” shape .

1. Sample Collection:
   • Collect soil samples from different locations and depths to ensure a representative analysis.
   • Use clean tools to avoid contamination and follow specific guidelines for sample size and handling.
2. Laboratory Analysis:
   • The collected samples are sent to a laboratory where they undergo various tests, including:
     • Nutrient Analysis: Measures levels of essential nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S).
     • pH Testing: Determines the acidity or alkalinity of the soil, which affects nutrient availability and microbial activity.
     • Texture Analysis: Identifies the proportions of sand, silt, and clay, influencing water retention and drainage.
     • Organic Matter Content: Assesses the amount of decomposed organic material, which is vital for soil fertility.
     • Contaminant Testing: Detects harmful substances such as heavy metals, pesticides, or other pollutants.
3. Report Generation:
   • After analysis, a report is generated that includes:
     • Results of the tests conducted.
     • Recommendations for soil amendments, fertilization, and management practices based on the findings

• • • When to Conduct a Soil Test

      • Before planting crops or starting a garden.
      • When changing land use (e.g., converting farmland to residential).
      • If there are signs of nutrient deficiencies or soil health issues.
      • Periodically to monitor changes in soil quality over tim
