Laboratory
In 2000 on the basis of agrochemical laboratory of the enterprise within the framework of a state program of Dutch-East European cooperation (together with ATC company) the centralized agricultural laboratory of soil, water and fertilizers was established. It was a present of the Queen of the Netherlands to Ukraine. Today at the laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art computer-controlled instruments made by „SCALAR" and «VARIAN» companies one can specify macro and micro elements by 17 indicators. The process of carrying out analysis is fully automated – from submitting a sample to an instrument to receiving the results of the analysis, which makes any mistakes impossible. In order to control the work of the instruments, control and standard solutions are used, which are prepared at the day of the analysis. The main tasks of the laboratory are: - to carry out the analysis of the extraction of the substratum and the control over the preparation of the foundation solution;
- to carry out the analysis of the water used for watering plants, once a month;
- to compose and correct formulas (taking into account the culture, phase of the plant, periods, content in the substratum);
- to carry out the control of chemical purification of the water in the boiler room;
- to check presence of nitrates in the produce and to issue certificates.
The laboratory provides services to other farms, such analysis of water, substratum, calculation of the formula for mineral fertilization for different kinds of substratum for various vegetable and flower cultures. For our partners it turns out cheaper and more reliable than to carry out the analyses themselves with an old equipment, or not carrying out any analyses at all and use standard commercial formulas.
WE PROVIDE FOLLOWING SERVICES:
1. For greeneries:
- carrying out analysis by 17 indicators (macro and micro elements) of different types of substratum (turf, soil, nutritious solutions), water and fertilizers;
- working-out watering formulas (for technologies of little volume);
- issuing of recommendations based on the results of the analyses.
2. Analysis of soils and turf (apart from the above indicators):
- content of organic matter, ash;
- hydrolytic acidity.
