Soil testing provides essential information about the condition and fertility of agricultural land, enabling precise nutrient application and sustainable land management. METS Lab offers comprehensive soil testing services designed to assess soil quality. We analyze critical parameters including nutrient concentrations, pH levels, organic matter content, salinity, and the presence of contaminants in soil. These detailed insights allow for informed decision-making that optimizes fertilizer use, enhances crop productivity, reduces costs, and supports long-term soil conservation. All testing is conducted in accordance with internationally recognized standards to ensure accuracy, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
Scope of Testing
- Agricultural soil (arable land, farms, greenhouses)
- Horticultural and nursery soil
- Turf and landscape soil (parks, sports fields, golf courses)
