Soil testing laboratories
Soil testing laboratories analyze soil samples to determine their nutrient content, pH level, texture, and other properties. This information helps farmers, gardeners, and landowners understand the health and fertility of their soil. By knowing what nutrients are present or needed, they can make informed decisions about fertilization, crop selection, and land management to improve productivity and sustainability. The process typically involves collecting a small soil sample, sending it to the lab, and receiving a detailed report with recommendations for optimal soil health.
