Soil analyses for allotments
Basic nutrients
- pH value, phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg)
- Organic carbon / soil organic matter (humus)
- Soil type
- Incl. Fertilization recommendation (only if soil type is known)
Plant-available nitrogen
- Nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen
- Plant available sulfur
- Incl. Fertilization recommondation (only if soil type is known as well as the cultivated plant)
Soil organic matter quality assessment
We would like to motivate sustainable soil management with increasing yields with less mineral fertilizer use and lower expenses. We see a contribution to this in a new evaluation of the quality of organic matter of agricultural and horticultural soils with a practice-oriented indicator system based on a new analysis method (thermogravimetric soil analysis).
Plant analysis
Plant analysis is a method for determining the nutritional status or the need for fertilizer of crops. In additon to soil analysis it significantly improves the accuracy of determining the necessary amount of fertilizer. As a result deficiencies in the plant's nutrient supply can be detected at an early stage and eliminated in a targeted manner.
Complex plant analysis
- DM, N, P, K, Mg, Cu, Zn, Mn
- Reference values for the corresponding macro- and micronutrients
- Notes on the nutritional status of the plant
- Data provision within 5 working days
Our soil analytics
The soil laboratory of LKS mbH is notified according to waste legislation and listed in the online system ReSyMeSa and participates annually in the interstate laboratory comparison according to the waste module.
The analysis of soil samples in the agricultural and horticultural sector forms the basis for your successful fertilization strategy and optimization of your yields. With the combination of soil and plant analyses, we offer you a comprehensive spectrum of analyses.
You will find a large part of our analyses in the above headings. If you still cannot find the analysis you are looking for, please contact us - we will be happy to advise you.
Directions for soil sampling can be found HERE.
