ASSESMENT OF THE SOIL QUALITY

Growing a healthy and productive crop requires good soil quality. Soil should have the right content of different nutrients, as lack or excess of one or more nutrients disturbs growth. If your soil is poor, instead of adding chemical fertilisers which will destroy the soil fauna balance, you can selectively add the nutrient that is lacking from your soil and that is needed for the specific crop you are growing.

On the basis of this principle, the Archipelagos laboratory team offers free analyses of soil quality to farmers, who are then advised on the nutrient content of their soil and of natural methods to replenish any nutrients that are missing.

The Archipelagos laboratory provides analyses of soil samples for the following parameters:

Ammonia, Calcium, Chloride, Free Chlorine, Cooper, Iron, pH, Magnesium, Manganese, Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate, Phosphorus.
