QUALITY CONTROL OF SOIL LABORATORY ANALYSIS

Sampling and preparation of 60 kg of agricultural soil for the creation of a reference sample of the quality control of analytical data of analysis and research laboratories Ecosistemi. The activity is divided into several phases to obtain numerous identical subsamples used to control the data produced by soil analysis activities.
The analysis of agricultural land is an extremely delicate laboratory activity that requires specific attention both in the choice of methods and in the execution of analytical laboratory procedures.
Ecosistemi, the leading Italian company in the field of pedotechnologies, has decided to carry out an internal control activity to perform soil analyses in the most precise and rigorous way by producing an internal reference sample through which to check the results of our laboratory before communicating the results to operators in the sector and customers.
Soil analysis offers considerable variability in results. Ecosistemi -by making the internal reference sample ? ensures the certainty of the laboratory data produced guaranteeing answers of fundamental utility for agricultural activities.
From the analytical checks on the homogeneity of the reference sample produced, a long series of analyses will be carried out on the most important parameters from a pedo-agronomic point of view such as:
– Organic carbon;
– Total nitrogen;
– Total carbonates;
– Phosphorus Olsen;
– Potassium exchangeable
– Exchangeable magnesium
– Exchangeable football
– Active limestone
– Iron available
– Manganese available
– Zinc available
– Copper available
– Soluble boron
– Cation exchange capacity
The results will be progressively communicated in the news section and on the web page of the soil laboratory of Ecosistemi.
