INTRODUCTION OF THE LABORATORY
The Soil Testing Laboratory provides the examination of the nutrient content of soil samples as well as certain parameters necessary for the physical, physico-chemical and chemical characterization of the soil. These tests are carried out by the laboratory primarily in accordance with the requirements of agrienvironment schemes, regulations on the protection of surface and groundwater against nitrate pollution of agricultural origin, and regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture.
