Jordanalys AL

Soil analysis AL shows the amount of phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium available in the next few years in the soil's nutrient supply. The soil pH and K/Mg ratio are also given. For phosphorus and potassium, the class is given, which is a way of categorizing the levels of these substances in the soil, and is often used as a basis for fertilization in agriculture. Clay and loamy soils hold more phosphorus and potassium, while sandy soils have lower levels. Use AL analysis as a basis for supply fertilization and liming according to the Swedish Board of Agriculture's "Recommendations for fertilization and liming"

Take at least 10 subsamples, which are mixed into a composite sample.

Feel free to use a soil auger when sampling. Walk diagonally across the field (or in a circle where you know the soil is representative). In case of repeated sampling, take samples along the same line. The sample should be taken as deep as there are working roots. Normally the whole topsoil layer is sampled, about 25 cm.

After thorough mixing of the subsamples, about 0.3 liters of soil is taken out for analysis. Pack in a sample box (available from us) or in a plastic bag.

Attach delivery note with the sample number and sample name. Remember to provide the name and billing details (including organization/personal number), as well as the e-mail address of the persons to whom we will send the results.

Analysis results for AL analysis are provided by e-mail approximately 10 working days after the sample has reached LMI.
