Precision Testing Services

A test method is said to be precise when repeated determinations (analyses) on the same sample give similar results. When a test method is precise, the amount of random variation is small. The test method can be trusted because results are reliably reproduced time after time.



We offer customers a wide range of soil testing services. Our modern testing facilities allow us to conduct tests of GSB as per IS : 2720. Some of the areas for which these tests are conducted include M.D.D. & O.M.C., C.B.R. (California bearing ratio), degree of compaction & density (By core cutter & sand replacement), plasticity index, liquid limit and plastic limit, grain size analysis and free swell index.


What is Soil Testing ?

A soil test is a process by which elements (N, P, K, pH, EC, Ca, Mg, S, organic carbon,and micronutriants: Zn, Br, Mn, Fe, Cu, Mo) are chemically removed from the soil and measured for their "plant available" content within the sample. The quantity of available nutrients in the sample determines the amount of fertilizer that is recommended in soil testing services. A soil test also measures soil pH, humic matter and exchangeable acidity. These analyses indicate whether lime is needed and, if so, how much to apply.

Importance to Soil Testing

Soil analysis is a valuable tool for your farm as it determines the inputs required for efficient and economic production. A proper soil test will help ensure the application of enough fertilizer to meet the requirements of the crop while taking advantage of the nutrients already present in the soil. It will also allow you to determine lime requirements and can be used to diagnose problem areas. It is very important that your sampling technique is correct as the results are only as good as the sample you take. Tirupati Soil testing services and agriculture soil testing are a requirement for farms that must complete a nutrient management plan.

Tests are conducted on following parameters :

  • Soil bearing capacity (SPT)
  • M.D.D. & O.M.C.
  • Chemical compounds
  • Grain Size Analysis
  • Free swell index
  • C.B.R. (California Bearing Ratio)
  • Plasticity Index , Liquid Limit & Plastic Limit
  • Maximum density & minimum dry density
  • Classification of soil
  • Degree of Compaction & Density (By Core Cutter & Sand Replacement)
