About the

Laboratory

The Soil Chemistry Laboratory is an official Santanderean entity, with a wide experience of more than 50 years, in the field of physicochemical characterization of agricultural soils and plant tissue. It supports education, technological development and competitiveness in the rural sector, in order to improve the agricultural production of the country to achieve a greater social projection.

In April 2005, the Universidad Industrial de Santander and the Government of Santander, through the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development, signed an inter-institutional cooperation agreement for the operation of the laboratory, benefiting a large part of the rural sector of the department.

Since 1996 the laboratory has been an active member of the Analytical Control of Soil Laboratories (CALS) and Analytical Control of Plant Tissue (CALF), a program coordinated by the Colombian Society of Soil Science.

The analyses are carried out using methods established in national and international standards, guaranteeing the quality of the assays. These methods are based on the use of potentiometric, gravimetric, Ultraviolet-Visible spectrophotometric and flame atomic absorption spectrophotometric techniques.

All analyses include the interpretation of results and recommendations by the agronomist for the desired crop.
