AgroCares Lab-in-a-Box

The Lab-in-a-Box is a complete, compact soil laboratory that lets you start or expand soil testing services for farmers without prior lab experience. It covers the whole process, from soil sampling to an accurate soil fertility report and customised fertiliser recommendations within two hours.

The system combines the latest sensor technologies (MIR and XRF spectrometers) with the in-house built AgroCares Global Soil Database of more than 50,000 unique soil samples from over 40 countries, and advanced machine-learning models. One operator can analyse up to 100 soil samples a day, on-site, with better and faster results than a traditional wet-chemistry lab.

What the report contains

Soil fertility status with up to 54 parameters (macronutrients, micronutrients and physical parameters), crop- and yield-specific recommendations, nutrient need calculation, time-specific fertiliser application advice and locally available fertiliser products, all under your own branding and with data that can be integrated into your systems.

Components

Laptops, barcode printer, printer and barcode reader; sample preparation with subsampler, dryer, sieve and pestle, sample splitter and a Fritsch mill (pulveriser); MIR Alpha spectrometer and XRF spectrometer.
