Soil Testing Labs

Our Soil Testing Lab helps to find a soil quality, management, soil studies and land use & cover.

Soil Quality

Soil pH, Texture, Conductivity, Moisture, Organic Carbon, Macro(NPK) & Micro nutrients, Dry bulk density, Infiltration capacity, Extraction and determination of trace elements, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Lime requirement, Sodium Adsorption Ration (SAR), BOD load, Residual sodium carbonate (RSC).

Management

• Suitability of soil for Irrigation
• Suitability of water for Irrigation
• Soil sustainability Studies
• Water requirement (inductive method)
• Soil nutrient demand

Soil studies

• Bio-degradation of organic chemicals in soils (Eiseniafetida)
• Determination of acute toxicity using artificial substrate
• Effects on reproduction
• Determination of the effects of pollutants on soil flora, Inhibition on root growth
• Determination of the effects of pollutants on soil flora
• Effects of chemicals on growth of higher plants
• Micro and macronutrient analysis Soil amendments (nutrient deficiency, toxicity determination and application of nutrients)

Land use and cover

• Land use and Land cover studies using remote sensing data, Hydromorphology, hydrogeology and biomass estimation
