Compost / Manure Analysis

At Farmers Trend Virtual Agrovet, we offer a Compost and Manure Analysis Testing service tailored to help farmers understand the nutrient composition and quality of their organic fertilizers. By analyzing key parameters, we ensure that your compost and manure are safe, nutrient-rich, and effective for your farming needs.

Why Conduct Compost and Manure Analysis?

Understanding the composition of your compost or manure is essential for:

• Optimizing nutrient application to crops.
• Avoiding soil nutrient imbalances or deficiencies.
• Improving crop yields while minimizing waste.
• Reducing environmental impacts caused by over-application or contamination.

Key Parameters We Analyze

1. pH
   • Indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the sample to ensure suitability for crop and soil health.
2. Electrical Conductivity (Eh)
   • Measures salt levels in the sample, which can affect plant growth and soil microbial activity.
3. Dry Matter Content
   • Determines the percentage of solids in the sample, crucial for understanding nutrient concentration.
4. Carbon Content (C)
   • Assesses the organic carbon available in the compost or manure, vital for soil structure and microbial activity.
5. Total Nitrogen (N)
   • Evaluates the nitrogen content, essential for plant growth and chlorophyll production.
6. Phosphorus (P)
   • Supports root development, flowering, and fruiting.
7. Potassium (K)
   • Enhances plant resistance, water regulation, and overall health.
8. Calcium (Ca)
   • Critical for cell wall formation and soil structure improvement.
9. Magnesium (Mg)
   • Aids in chlorophyll production and enzyme activation.
10. Sulfur (S)
    • Essential for protein synthesis and enzyme function in plants.
11. Manganese (Mn)
    • Important for photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism.
12. Iron (Fe)
    • Required for chlorophyll synthesis and enzyme function.
13. Zinc (Zn)
    • Supports enzyme systems and growth hormone production in plants.
14. Copper (Cu)
    • Vital for photosynthesis and seed production.
15. Boron (B)
    • Key for cell wall formation and reproductive growth.
16. Sodium (Na)
    • Assessed to ensure levels are within safe limits for crops.
17. Carbon-to-Nitrogen Ratio (C/N)
    • Determines the balance between carbon and nitrogen, affecting decomposition and nutrient release rates.
