Soils
We, International Testing, help agricultural producers to collect analytical data, provide information on soil and plant health, and provide recommendations for fertilizer application. As a leading laboratory in the agricultural sector, we offer innovative case studies and clear recommendations to help you manage your production process. If your plants get exactly what they need, it will guarantee you maximum productivity and quality of the crop at the lowest cost.
Nutrients available to plants are a key factor in product quality. Analyzes performed by Eurofins Agro make it possible to understand the need of crops for nutrients to realize their yield potential. Quality products do not grow on their own, the manufacturer knows this like no other. Macronutrients such as potassium, calcium and phosphorus are important, as are trace elements such as boron, silicon and others. Eurofins also provides accurate information on soil structure and its ability to retain nutrients. The proportions of the elements in the soil must be correct to ensure optimal conditions for growing crops.
It is equally important to protect crops from diseases and pests. Plant pathogens can be hidden in the field or in a greenhouse. They are not visible to the naked eye, their presence becomes apparent only when the plants begin to show damage. But then it’s too late! Eurofins Agro DNA Multiscan allows you to detect the development of fungi and bacteria in the early stages. Pathogens can be found not only in plants, but also on work surfaces such as tables, barrels and tools. DNA Multiscan is a unique DNA technology. It shows the presence of fungi and bacteria even in the smallest concentrations. Therefore, you are already warned before the symptoms appear on the plant.
In a competitive global industry, it is important to have accurate and specific data to ensure optimal growing conditions while minimizing environmental impact. This requires accurate and timely data and advice. As a growing international organization with over 30 years of experience, we offer innovative solutions for your agricultural needs. Our innovative products and services are the result of everyday practical knowledge supported by research.
Soil diagnosis is a very important step in:
- choosing a site for laying a garden;
- growing vegetable and ornamental crops indoors and outdoors;
- reducing the cost of growing crops (savings on fertilizers and plant protection products);
organic farming; - balanced land use
Soil testing includes the study of its:
- fertility (agrochemical, physicochemical, physical and biological indicators),
- infection with pathogenic microorganisms (nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses),
- pollution (pesticide residues, heavy metals, radionuclides, organic pollutants).
The research is conducted in laboratories in Germany and the Netherlands. The activities of International Testing are aimed at comprehensive services – we take on all issues related to the choice of laboratory, selection of analysis methods, logistics and obtaining research results.
Water

The chemical composition of water is very different. Groundwater quality depends on various factors, the same applies to surface and tap water. You need to know the composition of water for its effective use. Water research includes:
- electrical conductivity (EC);
- pH;
- macronutrients (NH4, K, Na, Ca, Mg, NO3, SO4, Cl, HCO3);
- trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo and Si);
- Fe total (only in spring water).
Forage

The nutritional value for each type of feed should be clear and include the amount of minerals and trace elements contained in it. If the feed does not contain enough minerals and trace elements, the cost of feeding may increase. It can also lead to reduced fertility, suboptimal development of young cattle or poor onset of lactation. Therefore, you should make sure what is the quality of your food and what you need to add to get optimal nutrition for your animals.
Feed analysis includes the following list of parameters:
- dry matter
- pH
- acetic acid
- lactic acid
- NH3 fraction
- raw ash
- easily digestible organic substances
- nitrates
- raw protein
- soluble crude protein
- crude fiber
- raw fat
- sugar
- starch
- NDF
- NDF – easily digestible
- NDF is free from -N
- ADF + ADL
- chlorine
- feed evaluation
- minerals (Na, K, Mg, Ca, P, Mn, Zn, Fe, S, Cu)
- trace elements (Co, Mo, Se, I, B)
Plants
Plant diagnostics is an important tool for controlling plant nutrition and assessing the compliance of their development with species needs. In addition, it allows you to assess the quality of products grown.
For plant diagnostics we offer the Plant package
(N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn
+ assessment in accordance with the phase of plant development).
