Soil Testing

Soil quality is the primordial factor for farming practices. In order to grow our crops, we need fertile soil to hold water and nutrients and make them readily available for plant roots to take them up, suppress pests and weeds that may attack our plants and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.

A combined study of soil profile by physical, chemical and biological properties will give full picture of soil fertility and productivity. Physical properties of the soil include water holding capacity, aeration, plasticity, texture, structure, density and color etc. Chemical properties refer to the mineralogical composition and the content of the type of mineral such as Kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite, base saturation, humus and organic matter content. The biological property refers to a content of extent and types of microbes in the soil, which include bacteria, fungi, worms and insects.

Without knowing the amount of nutrients in the soil, you may waste money on unnecessary invest—and still not reach your yield goals. Poor nutrient content in the soil increases farmer’s dependence on fertilizers and micronutrients to beef up yield that further robs the soil of its remaining nutrients.

Soil testing plays a major role in analyzing details of soil nutrition and detecting deficiencies. That’s the value information. Genelon ensures analysis of your soil with fertilizer recommendation for Agriculture and Horticulture crops with professional and easy to understand results.
