Farmers Lab - Soil Organic Carbon Detection Kit is ideally a quick, accurate, and cost-effective solution for the farmers to determine the amount of Organic Carbon at their Farm.
Organic carbon plays a major role in biological activity and fertility of the soil.
Typical soil generally contains at least 45% inorganic components, 5% organic components, 25% air and 25% water on an average basis.
Soil organic carbon content up to 1.5-2.0 % increases soil porosity that supports the growth of the soil microorganisms.
This increases the availability of different nutrients to the plant, resulting in better crop yield. Thus, organic carbon is a true indicator of soil health.
Advantages :
It is user friendly as any farmer himself to check the percentage of organic carbon in his field.
It gives quick and reliable results.
