Key Objectives

  • Provide accurate soil and water testing services sanctioned by government authorities
  • Analyze soil samples for 12 key parameters including pH, EC, nutrient content, and trace elements
  • Identify nutrient deficiencies, soil pH imbalances, and salinity issues in agricultural fields
  • Deliver customized recommendations for soil amendments, fertilizer application, and organic composting
  • Support horticulture farming through specialized soil testing and borewell water analysis

Our Approach

The laboratory analyzes soil samples for 12 key parameters, including pH, EC, nutrient content, and trace elements, using standardized testing protocols. Each test helps farmers identify nutrient deficiencies, soil pH imbalances, and salinity issues. Based on test results, customized recommendations are provided for soil amendments, fertilizer application, and organic composting. The laboratory also offers specialized horticulture soil testing and borewell water testing services.
