Soil Analysis

Muestra de Suelo
We offer methods of analysis according to  production intensity and  fertilization and fertigation systems:
- Volume 1: 2 Method, Dutch Regulation:  Method that uses water as an extractant. Suitable for intensive horticultural, floricultural and fruit crops with drip and micro-sprinkler fertigation system.  Standard analysis with determination of:  pH (in H 2 O), EC, macro- and micronutrients: NO 3 , NH 4 , P, K, Ca, Mg, SO 4 , Na, Cl-, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B.
Optional: Analysis of Organic Matter, Texture / Particle Fraction, Cation Exchange Capacity,% Base Saturation, pH in KCl or CaCl 2. , Molybdenum, Silicon, Acidity and Exchangeable Aluminum.

- Traditional method with chemical extractants:  Suitable for the vast majority of outdoor agricultural crops with mineral or organic soil fertilization.  Standard analysis with determination of:  pH (in H 2 O), pH (in KCl), EC,  macro- and micronutrients: NO 3 , NH 4 , P, K, Ca, Mg, SO 4 , Na, Cl-, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B. The extractant solutions commonly used for the different elements are: CaCl 2 for K, Mg, NO 3 and NH 4 , NaCl Solution for Ca, Water for SO 4 , Na and B, Cl-, DTPA / CaCl 2 Solution for Fe, Mg, Cu and Zn, Sodium Bicarbonate Solution-Method Olsen for P.   

Optional: Organic Matter Analysis, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Cation Exchange Capacity,% Base Saturation, Particle Fraction, pH in CaCl 2 ,  Bicarbonates, Molybdenum, Silicon, Acidity and Exchangeable Aluminum.  At the customer's request, the analysis can be carried out with Ammonium Acetate extract (K, Mg, Ca), Mehlich III Solution (P, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Mg, Cu, Zn) and Bray Solution I (P) .

- Saturated Paste:  Method that is used at the specific request of the client  in which water is used as the extracting medium.  Standard analysis with determination of pH (in pasta), EC, macro- and micronutrients: NO 3 , NH 4 , P, K, Ca, Mg, SO 4 , Na, Cl-, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B .

Optional: Analysis of Organic Matter, Texture, Particle Fraction, Cation Exchange Capacity,% Base Saturation.
