Indiscriminate use of water without taking into account the crop requirements and soil capacity, imbalance in fertilizer application and adoption of single nutrient therapy over the years has resulted in:
✅ Problematic & Infertile Soils
✅ Reduced Soil Productivity Index (SPI)
✅ Reduced Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE)
Which further leads to:
✅ Increased application of fertilisers
✅ Increased cost of cultivation
✅ Low yields with impaired quality.
Hence it is critical to bridge the gap between what our soil status is and what crops require, so as to optimise the production level and to minimize the overall cost of production.
Prognostic soil and tissue analysis is an excellent analytical tool that can be called upon to maintain the Soil and Crop continuum.
Please Note:
Analysis Data obtained from RAL/IMT methods of analysis cannot be compared to the data obtained from conventional methods of analysis. At RAL/IMT Labs we use a customised pH adjusted method of analysis.

SOIL SAMPLING PROCEDURE
Sampling for Perennial/ Horticultural Crops like Banana, Citrus, Coffee, Mango, Grapes, Pomegranate (Random Sampling)
Sampling for Annual/Seasonal Crops like High Value Vegetables (Tomato, Chilly, Capsicum, and Onion), Cash Crops (Cotton, Sugarcane, and Turmeric/Ginger), and Cereals.
Sample should be labelled with all the following details.
> How much sample should be collected
The minimum quantity of the sample to be sent for analysis should be 1kg.
> How to pack the sample
The bag should be only ¾ filled to allow some air movement in the bag.
Do not use fertilizer or pesticide bags for sample collection.
