Coromandel International Limited, India’s leading agri-inputs company, has inaugurated a cutting-edge Soil and Leaf Testing Laboratory at its Kakinada plant. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to offer accurate soil and plant nutrient analysis, empowering farmers to make informed decisions for better soil health and crop productivity.
The laboratory is equipped with advanced technologies such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF), spectrophotometers, microwave digesters, and near-infrared spectrometers. These tools provide precise nutrient analysis, helping farmers optimize fertilizer use, enhance crop yields, and minimize input costs.
Farmers can easily access these services through automated soil testing requests and receive detailed reports via Salesforce CRM. Recommendations are delivered directly to farmers’ mobile phones, offering data-driven insights and stage-wise fertilizer suggestions tailored to the specific needs of the soil and crops. The laboratory is also integrated with the Gromor Nutri Advisory Portal, supporting sustainable farming practices and soil health.
This initiative is a testament to Coromandel’s commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture. By equipping farmers with essential tools and knowledge, Coromandel aims to ensure long-term soil health, improve agricultural productivity, and foster environmentally friendly farming practices.
