Soil Analysis

Soil analysis is a crucial important process in agriculture and environmental science that involves assessing the chemical, physical, biological, and mineralogical properties of soil. Here are some key points about soil analysis:

  • Purpose: Soil analysis helps farmers, agronomists, and environmental scientists understand the fertility, health, and nutrient content of soil. This information guides decisions on fertilization, crop selection, and soil management practices.

  • Parameters Assessed:

  • 1. Physical Parameters :

    Soil Texture
    Structure,
    Bulk Density,
    Particle Density
    Water Holding Capacity

  • 2.Biological Parameters

    Indicates Microbial activity along with Bacterial, Fungi and Antinomyces Population in soil.

  • 3. Chemical Parameters :

    Soil pH :Indicates the alkalinity and acidity of soils.

    Soil EC :Indicates the concentration of salts in soils.

    Soil Organic Carbon :Indicates soil health and fertility status of soils.

    Soil Nutrients content:

A.Macronutrients :

a.Primary Nutrients : Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium

b.Secondary Nutrients : Calcium, Magnesium and Sulfur.

B.Micronutrients :

Ferrous (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Molybdenum (Mo), Boron (B) and Chlorine (Cl)

C.Heavy Metals : Lead, Mercury, Cadsium, and Arsenic.


Fertilizers Analysis

We Krishidoot Analytical Laboratory, Nashik offer analysis of all water-soluble liquid
fertilizers, conventional fertilizer, micronutrient fertilizer and organic fertilizers. We work with all major groups of fertilizers:

  • Purpose: Fertilizer analysis aims to verify the nutrient content and quality of fertilizers, ensuring they deliver the intended nutrients to crops effectively and safely.

  • Nutrient Content: Fertilizer analysis typically measures primary nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and secondary nutrients (calcium, magnesium, sulfur) Heavy Metals (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium,Arsenic) as well as micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, molybdenum) present in the fertilizer product.


Water Analysis

Water analysis involves the systematic examination and testing of water quality to assess its physical, chemical, biological, and microbiological characteristics.

This process is crucial for various applications, including drinking water safety, environmental monitoring, industrial processes, and agricultural practices.

1: Purposes of Water Analysis:

In addition to this, the advanced facilities also make us competent in providing Water Quality Analysis and detecting the presence of carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, and sodium in water. We also do microbial analysis of water.

a.Drinking Water Safety:

  • Microbiological Analysis: Ensures water is free from harmful bacteria (e.g., E. coli) and viruses.
  • Microbiological Analysis: Ensures water is free from harmful bacteria (e.g., E. coli) and viruses.

b.Environmental Monitoring:
  • Pollution Assessment: Measures levels of pollutants from industrial runoff, agriculture, or urban sources.
  • Ecosystem Health: Evaluates impacts on aquatic life and habitats due to changes in water quality.

c.Agricultural Applications:
  • Irrigation Water Quality: Assessing suitability for crop irrigation based on pH, salinity, and nutrient content.
  • Nutrient Management: Determines levels of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) to optimize plant growth and prevent nutrient imbalances.

d.Industrial Processes:
  • Process Water Quality: Ensures water used in industrial processes meets quality standards and does not affect product quality or equipment.
2. Nutrient Content in Water Analysis

Nutrient content in water is crucial for agricultural applications and environmental health:

  • Macronutrients: Such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) are essential for plant growth. Water analysis helps determine if these nutrients are present in sufficient quantities for crops or if they pose risks of runoff pollution.
  • Micro- and Trace Elements: Including calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, which contribute to soil fertility and plant health.

Plant Petiole Analysis

Petiole analysis is a specialized technique used in agriculture and plant science to assess the nutrient status of plants, particularly crops.

Purpose: The primary purpose of petiole analysis is to monitor and diagnose nutrient deficiencies or imbalances in plants during their growth cycle. It helps farmers and agronomists make informed decisions about nutrient management and fertilizer applications.

1. Purposes of Water Analysis:

In addition to this, the advanced facilities also make us competent in providing Water Quality Analysis and detecting the presence of carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, and sodium in water. We also do microbial analysis of water.

1: Macronutrients:

  • Nitrogen (N): Essential for leaf and stem growth, protein synthesis, and overall plant vigor.
  • Phosphorus (P): Vital for root development, flowering, fruiting, and energy transfer within plants.
  • Potassium (K): Supports water regulation, disease resistance, and overall plant metabolism.
  • Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg): Important for cell wall structure, enzyme function, and nutrient transport within plants.
  • Sulfur (S): Essential for protein synthesis and enzyme functions.

2: Micronutrients:

  • Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Boron (B), Molybdenum (Mo): These micronutrients are required in smaller quantities but are crucial for enzyme activation, photosynthesis, and overall plant health.

3: Other Parameters:

  • pH: Soil pH affects nutrient availability to plants. Petiole analysis may include pH measurements to understand how soil pH impacts nutrient uptake
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC): EC measures the salinity or total dissolved salts in the soil, which can affect nutrient availability and plant health.
  • Chlorophyll Content: Chlorophyll levels indicate the plant's ability to photosynthesize and produce energy. Lower chlorophyll content may indicate nutrient deficiencies.
