In September, SGS opened the first independent soil and plant nutrient testing laboratory in Sri Lanka.

Strategically located in Rathnapura, 105km from Colombo towards the Centre of the country, this new soil and plant nutrient testing laboratory is ideally placed to deliver its services to most of the country’s tea and rubber plantations. Our lab has the capability to conduct the following tests:

• Soil macro and micro nutrients.
• pH.
• Electrical Conductivity.
• Cation Exchange Carbon.
• Organic Carbon.
• Soil Texture.
• Soil physical properties.

In addition to analysis services, our new laboratory also offers Field Monitoring services, Land Use Plans preparation and Soil Nutrient Mapping for plantations, to enable them to implement site specific fertilizer applications and develop their approach towards sustainable agriculture.
