Soil Testing

Natural soil conditions are often very different, and the growth and development of crops cannot be achieved without a large number of trace elements in the soil, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients, while heavy metals such as lead, chromium, mercury, arsenic and other harmful substances contained in the soil can also be enriched in large quantities in crops, causing damage to the quality of crops. Therefore, soil testing is an important diagnostic tool for determining soil nutrient status to optimize crop production.

As a leader in agriculture analytical testing services, Lifeasible better analyzes soil nutrients, physicochemical indicators, sediments, metabolites, etc. reasonably, and then propose targeted soil improvement, conservation, and research programs.

• Soil nutrient analysis

The chemical elements in the soil that are essential for plant growth and development generally include major nutrients (nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)), secondary nutrients (calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and Sulphur (S)), as well as micronutrients (zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), boron (B), and molybdenum (Mo)). Lifeasible provides diversified testing programs according to the actual needs that with high throughput, accuracy, and reproducibility of results to meet your needs for research on the different states of each element.

• Soil physical and chemical testing

Soil chemical properties and processes are some of the most important factors affecting soil fertility levels. Lifeasible's soil physical and chemical testing services combine a variety of methods for different research directions, and we have a dedicated team to provide customized solutions to ensure that our clients' needs are met. We offer high-quality analytical services for a wide range of physical and chemical parameters of soil, including water and total dissolved solids contents, soil pH, soil particle size, the specific weight of soil, specific heat of soil, soil electric conductivity, bulk density, water holding capacity, etc.

• Soil residues and contaminants testing

Soil contaminant testing can determine the contamination status of the soil. Lifeasible provides a total solution for soil residue and contaminant detection, including heavy metals, pesticide residues, and other organic contaminants (organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, carbamate pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenolic compounds, nitrobenzene compounds, aniline compounds, phthalic acid, etc.), organic, inorganic, and radioactive contaminants, etc.

• Soil bioindicator analysis

Ensuring the accuracy and diversity of the analysis is of paramount importance in the implementation of modern soil bioindicator analysis studies. Lifeasible has extensive experience in many aspects of soil microbial biomass analysis, soil microbial mapping, soil biodiversity analysis, soil enzyme activity analysis, and soil humus analysis. Therefore, our services can be applied to various studies on soil development, fertility evolution, evaluation of soil resources, soil improvement, and fertilizer application, evaluation of soil environmental quality, etc.

• Ocean sediments analysis

Ocean sediments are any deposit of insoluble material in ocean, primarily rock and soil particles as well as the remains of marine organisms. Lifeasible has extensive experience in the determination of marine sediment samples, and we have established different methods for different indicators to meet the different needs of different customers and to get the best results.

• Soil metabolite profiling analysis

The soil environment is extremely complex, the diversity of its microbial communities, and the life activities of various microorganisms create a huge system of metabolites. Lifeasible can qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the microbial metabolites (including all low molecular weight metabolites) in soil samples with the help of high-throughput technological tools and based on appropriate improvements to obtain reliable information on soil microbial metabolism.

• Soil repair services

Soil remediation is the use of physical, chemical, and biological methods to transfer, absorb, degrade and transform pollutants in the soil to reduce their concentration to acceptable levels, or to convert toxic and harmful pollutants into harmless substances. Lifeasible offers contaminated soil remediation services to help our clients design remediation plans and conduct soil remediation project experiments using in situ remediation and ex-situ remediation techniques so that you get the most accurate soil remediation analysis results.

• Soil conservation service assessment

The sensitivity of soil erosion to global environmental change makes improving ecosystem soil conservation services and reducing soil erosion hazards a major issue. Lifeasible uses a variety of models to provide researchers with soil conservation service assessments, and the assessments are primarily based on a soil erosion perspective, which is a physical assessment of ecosystem impacts on erosion and sand production processes.

Lifeasible is committed to providing our customers with high-quality soil testing solutions that are fast, accurate, and efficient. You can leave your soil testing project in our hands, please contact our staff for more information.
