Land as a non-renewable natural resource requires the rational use of organic and mineral fertilizers. Proper fertilization is only possible based on agrochemical soil analysis.
The agrochemical properties of soil are crucial for assessing soil health and are essential for agroecological monitoring, precision agriculture, and the rational management of soil resources. Soil analysis provides vital information needed to improve soil quality. By monitoring the precise amounts of nutrients, farmers can adjust fertilization according to the requirements of the soil and crops, maintaining an optimal growing environment without causing pollution.
The importance of agrochemical soil analysis is reflected in the following:
- Proper application of organic and mineral substances, increases crop yield and quality.
- Preventing excessive and uncontrolled nutrient application, can harm plants, pollute soil and water, and pose risks to human health.
Basic agrochemical soil analysis includes:
- Determining pH values in water and KCl.
- Determining humus content.
- Determining calcium carbonate content.
- Determining total nitrogen.
- Determining available phosphorus.
- Determining available potassium.
Proper soil sampling and adequate sample preparation (drying, sieving, grinding) are essential for valid results.
