Function and Applications

Case with material for 6 work groups to investigate the 18 most important soil parameters: soil profile (soil horizons, soil type), mineral matter (stone content, fine earth content, soil texture), body of humus (humus content, humus type), water/ air (soil moisture, water capacity, water permeability rate, utilisable water capacity), soil structure (soil compaction, aggregate stability/ tilth), acidity (pH value, lime content), nutrients (nitrate content of soil, nitrate content of fruit and vegetables), soil life (soil animals).

Benefits

• Easy to perform analyses using rapid test indicator sticks.
• Problem-oriented investigative methods to determine soil acidification, lime requirement, nitrogen supply, soil compaction, etc.
• The case can be used by 6 works groups working in tandem.
• Includes detailed instruction manual
