Lab Background:
Established in 1976, the Soil Health Unit (AICRP on STCR, AICRP on Micronutrients and Radio tracer Laboratory) has been a trusted centre for soil and plant analysis, supporting farmers in improving crop yields, soil fertility, and sustainable agricultural productivity. Equipped with state-of-the-art imported analytical instruments, including an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) and a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, the laboratory ensures high accuracy, precision, and reliability in all analyses.
Services Offered:
The laboratory offers comprehensive soil fertility testing, covering major, secondary, and micronutrients along with critical soil health parameters required for scientific nutrient management.
