Soil Testing for Truffle Growing
When growing your own truffles it is important to understand a little about the soil structure and chemistry of your intended site. Truffles spend most of their lives enclosed in soil, so it is essential to get the soil structure and pH correct so they can produce the best yield possible.
Soil testing for Farming
Mycorrhizal Systems Ltd provides a range of soil analysis packages. This analysis is an important aspect of the farming business and is the cornerstone of good agricultural practice. The information gained from the soil analysis means that farmers can alter their fertiliser to better aid the plants needs, thus increasing the yield and reducing environmental risk.
MSL realise that large quantities of samples need to be tested, we can arrange this and give you the best price possible, please contact us for a quote.
Soil Testing for Gardeners
Soil testing is also important in maintaining a healthy lawn and garden, if you are adding more nutrients than your lawn or garden requires then this could ultimately cost extra money and could harm your plants and contaminate the environment. MSL will test your soil and send you a report with details of how to alter your fertiliser and how to get the right pH, for more information please contact us.
MSL Analysis provide the following analytical soil tests, simply download an order form and sample taking guidelines now and send your sample to us:
pH and L.R - £15 (ex VAT)
pH is a measure of the acidity of your soil, which is a vital factor affecting crops wellbeing. We analyse the pH and give you the lime requirements for you to attain the optimum pH for your crop.
Available Soil Nitrogen - £20 (ex VAT)
This is an extremely important soil test, as Nitrogen is critical to the plants health, we will test the amount of Nitrogen in your soil and write a full report advising on fertilisers etc to get the correct level of Nitrates for your plants.
Basic Soil Test - pH, L.R, P, K, Mg - £20 (ex VAT)
A measurement of your soils pH and key nutrients, this will help you tailor your fertilizers to maximise their impact on your crops.
Basic Soil Plus - £40 (ex VAT)
A more in depth measurement of your soils pH, lime requirements and more key nutrients (pH, L.R, P, K, Mg, Mn, Cu, B, S) this will help you tailor your fertilizers to maximise their impact on your crops.
Comprehensive (Broad Spectrum)- £50 (ex VAT)
A measurement of your soils pH and ALL soil nutrient levels (P, K, Mg, pH, L.R, Ca, S, Na, Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mo, B, CEC). MSL identify your soil deficiencies and recommend corrective treatments specific to your crops.
Soil Structure - £20 (ex VAT)
Soil structure describes how individual soil granules clump or bind together and aggregate, and therefore, the arrangement of soil pores between them. Soil structure has a major influence on water and air movement, biological activity, root growth and seedling emergence.
Truffle Potential Report - extra £15 (ex VAT)
A full report on your soils potential to grow truffles based on pH and soil structure.
*all other elements for truffle cultivation offered through partnership and significant tree orders.
*LR = Lime Requirement
If you would like any other types of soil, plant, fertiliser or any other analytical service please contact us and we can tailor our services to best suit your needs. We can analyse compost, topsoil and plant matter to most standards.
