Soil Nutrient Analysis

Soil nutrients include the nutrients provided by the soil that are essential for plant growth and can be classified as macronutrients, mesoelements, and micronutrients. They can be divided into fast-acting and late-acting nutrients according to the ease of absorption and utilization of nutrients by plants, and their effectiveness depends on the form in which they exist.

Soil nutrient forms are not fixed, and their morphological transformation includes chemical transformation, physicochemical transformation, and biochemical transformation. Soil nutrients are one of the important sources of nutrient uptake by crops, and they account for a high proportion of the total nutrient uptake by crops.

The chemical elements in the soil that are essential for plant growth and development generally include N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Cu, B, Zn, Mo, Se, Mn, I, Cl, etc. The state of existence of nutrient elements in the soil determines their effectiveness to plants, and it is generally said that only nutrient elements in an ionic state can be absorbed and utilized by plants. Therefore, Lifeasible provides diversified testing programs according to the actual needs, to meet your needs for research on the different states of each element.

List of detectable elements

The list is constantly being updated, please contact our staff for the latest list of available soil nutrients.

Lifeasible has instruments and equipment for soil nutrient and elemental analysis. Our instruments are equipped with software spectral analysis calculations based on the basic parametric method, which eliminates analytical errors caused by sample matrix differences and spectral line interferences, and requires only a few standard (fixed value) samples to obtain accurate quantitative results. The analysis of nutrient content of a soil sample can be completed in as little as 1 min, which can meet the needs of nutrient analysis in soil samples.

Lifeasible provides accurate and efficient soil nutrient testing services with high throughput, accuracy, and reproducibility of results. Our technical services can be applied to a wide range of applications, including environmental remediation of soil contamination, soil nutrient cycling and its regulation, elemental transport and enrichment, soil elemental transformation and cycling, soil acidification and its environmental effects, etc.
