Hi,
I am Krishna, working on a project to set up a soil test lab for internal (organisation) use. We are looking for options to buy equipment for testing soil nutrients macro nutrients and micro nutrients for fertilizer recommendations including CEC, pH. We believe quantitative analysis is optimal for operations as we operate more than 5000 acres of cranberry and blueberry farm.
Kindly suggest the set of equipment which can be used for our purposes? Also, the name(s) of manufactures if you know.
Thanks,
Krishna Kaja
@ Krishna, I think you may use PUSA Soil Test Fertilizer Recommendation Meter Kit (STFR), where directly you can measure pH, EC, Organic C (as a measure of N), P, K, S, Zn , B. It is relatively cheaper. For more details please look at;

Dear J C Tarafdar, where can I fund the principles/procedures used in the PUSA kit described, Paul
There are some Startups working in this space who have some good devices that may be of interest to you.
@Paul, you may contact Dr. Diwadi, Head, Division of Soil Science & Agricultural chemistry, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, PUSA, New Delhi 110012, India.
