Soil Testing Kits

Simple to use, accurate and reliable portable soil testing kits

Understanding the composition of your soil is paramount for a high quality yield. By analysing key indicators such as nutrient levels, conductivity and pH balance, farmers and growers can make informed decisions to optimise crop yields and protect the environment from over-fertilisation.

Our new range of soil testing equipment includes products designed specifically for rapid, accurate and reliable field analysis. They allow field testing of soil samples comparable to standard laboratory methods.

Notably, since the discontinuation of the popular Palintest soil test kits, Martin Lishman are thrilled to once again offer a reliable soil testing solution.

Key Features

  • Simple to use – specially developed soil reagents and extract solutions means reliable results can be obtained by all users – with or without soil analysis training. 
  • Quick results – a simple colour comparison chart used in the soil testing kit gives clear visual results.
  • Bluetooth enabled – the wireless soil pH meter comes with a smartphone app for data logging, direct readout and note taking, plus soil temperature measurement. 
  • Developed specifically for portable use by agronomists, farmers and growers.

Soil EC meter

Soil Conductivity (EC) & Temperature Meter

Instant readout of conductivity & temperature of soil

Pocket-sized meter designed specifically to measure the conductivity (EC) and temperature of soil. EC gives a measure of the strength of the ions in the soil and helps to track the nutrients that are available to plants. EC soil maps have a high correlation with better crop yield.

The meter features a stainless steel rugged and reliable probe with a temperature sensor in the penetration probe, to ensure measurements are automatically temperature compensated.

Product codes:
SOILECT: Handheld EC & temperature meter. 

Available with consumables pack:

SOILECT/PACK: Certified conductivity standard solution, conductivity, calibration solution
