Hi community,
for part of my hydrological research, I would like to analyse a set of soil parameters in a local lab in either Kathmandu or central Nepal (accessible from Sindhupalchowk, Kabhrepalanchowk or Kathmandu).
The parameters are bulk density, soil organic matter, soil texture and if possible water retention curve (at field capacity & wilting point).
The number of samples I am expecting would range around 70-100 in total, but distributed over several field seasons.
Tribhuvan University seems to not have a lab, and Kathmandu Uni is not certain either.
NARC (National Agricultural Research Council) may have a soil science division, but I cannot find a contact.
Has anyone got experience with soil labs in the area?
Thank you!
Hai,
We are having the soil laboratory, where we can do analysis on the parameters requested. But the think is that it is in southern part of India. If interested, u can mail the details.
Soil testing mobile van to help Nepali farmers
India has gifted a soil testing mobile van which will be a boon to Nepali farmers as they will now be able to get their soil tested for nutrient deficiencies and fertilizer requirements. Apart from above following good laboratory in Kathmandu.

Lalit Bc Thank you for your response, I have indeed looked at their website but couldn't find a contact or in what division the laboratory would be. If you happen to know anyone there, I am all ears!
