Haney Test

The composition of the soil can greatly affect the growth of crops. The haney test of the soil is a measure of the amount of nutrients in the soil. The Haney test treatments test soil nutrients (nitrates, ammonia, phosphates, aluminum, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and sodium) and also test soil respiration (Solvita CO2 burst test), water-soluble organic carbon and organic nitrogen and its proportions. The Haney Test requires an estimate of nutrients consumed by microorganisms, focusing on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content in the soil. The results of the haney test indicate nutrients readily available to soil microorganisms, and root exudates and organic matter are measured to determine further progress in improving and treating the soil.

As the world's leading heavy metal testing company, Alfa Chemistry delivers incredible service and trusted results. Alfa Chemistry is your specialist laboratory for soil haney test.

Important test items:

The haney test of soil evaluates the soil chemically and biologically, including:

• Water extractable organic carbon
• Microbial activated carbon
• Water extractable organic nitrogen
• Organic carbon to organic nitrogen ratio
• Organic carbon to nitrogen ratio
• Ratio of organic nitrogen to inorganic nitrogen
• Organic nitrogen release
• Organic nitrogen reserves

It should be noted that the condition of soil changes with seasons, life activities, atmospheric environment and external management. The haney test only evaluates soil nutrients and respiration efficiency, and is not particularly complete because it does not take into account factors such as water permeability and pushing density.

Alfa Chemistry analyzes nutrients in soil:

Nitrates, ammonia, phosphates, aluminum, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and sodium.

Haney testing helps solve the following problems:

• Current condition of soil
• Is the soil balanced?
• Solutions for improving soil

Interpret test results

The haney test scores the soil, including its nutrients and microbial activity. For haney test results, the soil's nutrient score is 0-50, with higher numbers being better. The results of the haney test are used to develop and improve key data on soil nutrition.

Precautions:

In Alfa Chemistry's experiments, the samples that researchers need to collect will be different from those traditionally collected, so they need to be calibrated. Haney test of soil is performed primarily to determine a baseline of soil health, which is extremely important for crop growth.
