Soil Diagnostics

Every great harvest starts with understanding your soil. Our comprehensive soil testing and analysis service reveals exactly what your fields need.

Soil sampling in the field

Blind fertilizing is expensive

Blind fertilizing wastes money and risks environmental damage. Our soil diagnostics tell you exactly what nutrients are present, what is missing, and how to correct it — so every naira you spend on inputs delivers return.

We test for the full spectrum of plant nutrients, interpret results against your crop's specific needs, and design a season-long nutrition programme that fits your budget and goals.

01

Sample Collection

Our agronomist visits your farm to collect soil samples from representative zones — typically 15–20 cores per hectare, mixed into a composite sample for accurate analysis.

02

Laboratory Analysis

Samples are tested for pH, organic matter, macronutrients (N, P, K), secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg, S) and micronutrients (Zn, B, Fe, Mn) using certified methods.

03

Report & Recommendations

You receive a detailed soil health report with nutrient maps, deficiency diagnoses and a tailored fertilizer programme calibrated to your crop, yield target and budget.

04

Season-Long Support

Our agronomists stay with you through the season, adjusting recommendations based on crop response, weather and mid-season tissue tests if needed.

What the lab measures

Soil pH & Buffer pH

Determines lime requirements and nutrient availability.

Organic Matter

Measures soil carbon and biological activity.

Nitrogen (N)

Assesses available nitrogen and mineralisation potential.

Phosphorus (P)

Tests plant-available phosphorus levels.

Potassium (K)

Measures exchangeable potassium reserves.

Calcium & Magnesium

Evaluates soil structure and nutrient balance.

Sulphur (S)

Often limiting in tropical soils — critical for protein synthesis.

Micronutrients

Zinc, Boron, Iron, Manganese — essential in small amounts.
