This technology enables rapid, cost-effective and high-throughput analysis of soil properties, providing access to accurate, timely and affordable soil data for efficient and sustainable fertilizer use and land management practices.

The Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) has launched the 2025 Global Proficiency Test (PT), a major interlaboratory exercise designed to monitor the accuracy and precision of soil analysis worldwide. By helping laboratories verify their results are accurate and consistent, the PT supports GLOSOLAN mission to help labs provide accurate soil data

In Kyrgyzstan, a country dominated by mountainous landscapes, issues related to soil fertility conservation are of particular relevance. In the context of a changing climate, the country faces challenges such as soil erosion, degradation, salinization, and loss of fertility. These factors directly affect crop yields and the resilience of agrifood systems.
