[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 13th that it will provide free 'soil testing service' to create eco-friendly, high-quality agricultural products and a sustainable farming environment.
The county plans to scientifically analyze the nutritional status of cultivated land through the soil testing service to identify imbalanced conditions and improve agricultural product quality through appropriate fertilizer application and soil improvement for each crop.
Farmers who wish to have their soil tested can collect soil samples and submit them to the Comprehensive Testing Room at the County Agricultural Technology Center, where they will receive soil analysis results and a 'fertilizer usage prescription' by crop type.
Soil samples should be collected from 5 to 10 points for each plot of cultivated land (by greenhouse section for greenhouses) by removing foreign materials accumulated on the surface (approximately 1 cm), then collecting approximately 500g from a depth of 10 to 15 cm where crop roots grow.
For further inquiries regarding soil testing, contact the Comprehensive Testing Room of the Ganghwa Agricultural Technology Center's Scientific Farming Team at 032-930-4156.
