Agricultural soil testing

EAL offers comprehensive soil testing at Full analytical services price list (pdf) for home, recreational and agricultural applications. Nutrient deficiencies and fertiliser requirements are assessed through routine analysis of agricultural soils and soil additives for chemical and physical parameters. Metals and other contaminant testing is also available. Agricultural soils are analysed and reported on a weekly basis with reference to desirable levels for real-time management of farming systems.

Adhering to standard sample collection and preservation procedures (pdf) ensures the highest level of accuracy. These procedures are targeted at a variety of sample types. A soil sampling guide (pdf) is also available to assist in setting up a sampling regime. EAL and NSW DPI have created some videos to help guide on-farm sampling.

Alternatively, EAL can provide qualified staff to undertake on-site sampling at a base rate of $110 excl. GST. Please contact EAL for more information. For further information about agricultural methods, quoting and reports, please contact the Agricultural Co-ordinator, Kris Saville.
