Soil Testing
Cultivator Phyto Lab excels at providing complete soil testing services for agricultural and non-agricultural lands. As the properties of soil vary depending on its composition and type the quality of the soil is judged by analyzing those properties that limit the usage of land. We test soil samples across the season and types and provide special services. There are various chemical testing parameters offered namely, pH value, porosity, water content, organic carbon, potassium, etc.
Test Methods: As per all national and international methods like AOAC, APHA, EU, Indian standard, FSSAI, ISO, own validated methods and customer supplied methods. Indian Standards (IS) (USFDA) (ASTM) (AOCS) (ASTA) (PAM) US-EPA Methods (API) (IP)(FCC), In-house validated methods.
