Soil Laboratory Services

Better soil decisions start with reliable testing

Soil testing helps you understand nutrient levels, investigate potential constraints and plan management around the needs of your paddocks.

OptiSoil provides soil analysis at our own laboratory in Inverell, northern NSW. We work with growers, agronomists and agribusiness partners to deliver useful soil information for crop nutrition, soil management and digital soil mapping.

Understand your soil

The right testing program depends on the questions you need to answer. You may be planning fertiliser applications, investigating uneven crop growth or assessing soil conditions deeper in the profile.

We can help select suitable tests and sampling depths, with chemical and physical analysis tailored to your project. Testing can investigate nutrient status, acidity, salinity, sodicity and other potential limitations to crop growth.

Laboratory capability and quality assurance

Our laboratory combines established soil testing methods with equipment including ICP-OES, which measures multiple elements in soil extracts.

OptiSoil has completed ASPAC proficiency certification, providing an independent benchmark of analytical performance through comparison testing with other laboratories.

Our investment in laboratory equipment, staff and sample management systems supports consistent analysis and efficient processing.

Get the sampling right

A laboratory result represents the sample submitted. Collecting suitable samples is essential to making that result useful.

We can design sampling strategies around your paddocks, management goals and existing information. Where subsoil conditions need investigation, sampling at multiple depths can help reveal differences that surface testing may miss.
