In our own laboratory at our production site in Helmond, we conduct various tests to monitor soil conditions and analyse the performance of our products. These results provide reliable, practical insights that help growers manage their soils effectively.

Chroma Analyses

One of the tests we perform in our laboratory is chroma analysis. A chroma analysis (or soil chromatography) is a visual method in which soil samples are assessed based on the colour, structure, and pattern of an imprint on special paper. The patterns that appear provide valuable insights into:

• Biological activity (such as microbial life)

• Organic matter quality

• The physical–chemical balance of the soil

This method makes changes in the soil visible at an early stage—long before plant growth or yield differences can be observed. That’s why it is a powerful tool for evaluating biostimulants and soil improvers early in the process.
