Agrochemical analysis of soil

Agrochemical soil analysis is a basic prerequisite for successful agricultural production in vegetable, arable and fruit growing.
With an expert team and a modernly equipped laboratory, we conduct soil analyzes according to the highest professional standards.

The laboratory is accredited by ATS (Accreditation Body of Serbia) and authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture to control soil fertility, which guarantees accuracy of results and compliance with applicable regulations.

You can also bring samples to us for the purposes of exercising the right to subsidies, as well as samples of state-owned and leased land.

Based on the obtained results, we make precise recommendations for fertilizing and improving fertility, with the aim of increasing yields and optimizing production costs.

Why is soil chemical analysis important?

Every year, plants take out a certain type and amount of nutrients from the soil, which must be returned to the soil through fertilization. Excessive or insufficient introduction of fertilizers into the soil results in:

Therefore, it is necessary to determine the potential and effective soil fertility in soil samples taken from production plots.

Based on knowledge of the content and form of nutrient elements in the soil as well as the needs of individual plants for those elements, recommendations can be made for the application of appropriate types, formulations and quantities of fertilizers.

Balanced plant nutrition provides higher yields and preserves the fertility of the soil for the following years.

What does Agrounik soil analysis mean?

Our argochemical laboratory performs the following analyses:

1. Merenje pH vrednosti.
2. Determination of humus content
3. Determination of total nitrogen content
4. Determining the content of easily accessible K and P.
5. Determination of easily accessible nitrogen.
6. Determination of CaCO3 content
7. N-min method.

What does proper sampling mean?

Soil samples for analysis are taken at the end or beginning of the growing season, necessarily before planting perennial plants, it is not recommended to take samples for analysis after applying fertilizers.

The sampling depth for field and vegetable production is from 0-30 cm, and for fruit-growing and viticulture from 0-30 and 30-60 cm. From a plot of up to 5 ha, it is necessary to take 15-25 average samples that are mixed and one sample is taken from them for analysis. Samples can be taken with an ace or a probe.

Sample taking procedure

The sampling procedure includes several steps:

Clean the surface of the earth from the remains of the previous crop to a depth of 1.5 to 2 cm (picture no. 1)
Ashov dig up the soil up to 30 cm and level its front side (picture no. 2)
Cut the soil layer along the entire depth of the profile. Carefully remove the ash with soil so that the soil remains on the ash when it is placed on the ground (picture no. 3)
Mixing of samples - soil samples taken from 15-20 places from a plot of up to 5 ha and from the same depth, mix them in the same bucket and make one sample from them, put in a PVC bag.
Along with the sample, send the completed land control application.
