Soil is a precious natural resource. A medium of production and it integrates all parts of ecosystem. It is therefore important to manage our soils for optimum crop yields as well as maintaining the capacity of soil to provide essential ecosystem functions.
We are passionate about soil health. Testing and analyzing soil will tell you everything you need to know about it. It identifies its pH, availability of nutrients and the amount of organic matter. Soil analysis also brings out the soil structure; all this combined helps educate farmers about what is going on beneath their crops and improve their yields.
Soil analysis gives growers an insight into their crop’s needs, informing their fertilizer strategy and ultimately reducing input costs. Poor management of soil over long periods of time has made most soils lack essential nutrients for optimal crop production. To ensure the degraded soils regain their optimal health, it is advisable to conduct the soil analysis processes, from the timing of the sampling, sampling technique and the type of analysis.
