Leaf Foliar Analysis Services
High-performance foliar analysis to determine leaf and foliage chemical composition, identify nutrient deficiencies, and optimise fertiliser programmes for improved crop quality.
Our high-performance foliar analysis service provides a comprehensive range of standard and specialist tests to determine the chemical composition of leaf and foliage samples. These analyses help identify nutrient deficiencies, optimise fertiliser programmes, and ultimately improve plant growth, yield, and crop quality.
By analysing key macro- and micronutrients, our results deliver actionable insights into plant nutrition and allow ongoing monitoring of fertiliser effectiveness.
Laboratory Tests for Foliar Samples
Macronutrients
- Nitrogen (N)
- Phosphorus (P)
- Potassium (K)
- Magnesium (Mg)
- Calcium (Ca)
Micronutrients
- Boron (B), Molybdenum (Mo), and others
Metals and Heavy Metals
- Aluminium (Al), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn)
Results clearly indicate normal, marginal, and deficient levels of each element. Additional and specialist analyses are available on request.
Fertiliser Prescription Service
Based on foliar chemical analysis, we offer a tailored fertiliser prescription to correct deficiencies and support optimal crop performance.
Sampling Guidelines
Our foliage sampling procedures are designed for general farmers, commercial farms and horticultural fruit trees. A Site Record Form must be completed for each sampling location and submitted alongside foliage samples to Eagrochels Laboratory, Lilongwe.
What's Included
- Macro and micronutrient analysis of leaf samples
- Nutrient deficiency identification with clear indicators
