Analysis of Agricultural Soil and Fertilizers
Knowing the soil you work isn’t an option: it’s the foundation of every efficient farming decision. Whether you need to plan a fertilization program, choose the most suitable crop, or evaluate soil improvement interventions, a soil analysis provides you with real data to make better decisions, reduce spending and protect the environment.
Agricultural soil analysis
Agricultural soil is a complex and dynamic system. Without precise knowledge of its chemical and physical characteristics, you risk taking inaccurate measures: nutrient excesses or deficiencies can damage crops, deplete the soil, and increase management costs without improving results.
An accurate analysis allows you to:
Evaluate chemical fertility – pH, salinity, organic matter, macro and microelements – to plan targeted fertilization and reduce waste.
Verify soil structure and texture – to optimize irrigation, choose the most suitable crops and schedule any necessary corrective interventions.
Monitor soil evolution over time - to support sustainable and eOicient agronomic management.
We also perform direct sampling of agricultural land, ensuring correct and representative collection for reliable results.
Fertilizer analysis
A fertilizer is a substance, or a mixture of substances, used to provide nutrients to plants, support their growth, and restore soil fertility depleted by previous cultivation. Its correct use is crucial for crop productivity and the health of the surrounding ecosystem.
Legislative Decree no. 75 of April 29, 2010, regulates the production marketing and use of fertilizers In Italy. It requires producers, importers, distributors, and in certain cases, users of organic fertilizers to verify their quality, safety, and regulatory compliance through specific analyses.
Lachimer is accredited and registered as a national laboratory for fertilizer compliance monitoring, recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry pursuant to Article 1 of Legislative Decree no. 75 of 29/04/2010.
