Soil testing
LawrieCo offers an Australian version of the Albrecht/Reams soil test in 1998; suitable for Australian soil types. It has been refined to include:
- standard Australian testing for exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K, Na, H, Al)
- plant available micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, B, Si)
- phosphorus tests (Bray 1, Bray 2, Colwell)
- nutrients (Nitrate, Ammonium, Sulfur)
- ‘Reams’ dilute Morgan extract for determining soluble nutrients (Ca, Mg, K, P)
- pH, electrical conductivity, basic colour, basic texture, total LECO carbon and total LECO nitrogen.

Basic soil test including all essential nutrients in soluble/available fraction
$147 per sample for 1 – 2 samples
$126 per sample for 3+ samples
Same as Albrecht/Reams, plus essential nutrients in insoluble/non-available fraction
$189 per sample for 1-2 samples
$168 per sample for 3+ samples
Same as Albrecht/Reams plus essential nutrients in insoluble/non-available fraction and heavy metal total insoluble fraction
$197 per sample for 1-2 samples

Plant testing
Washing is available to remove foliar sprays and liquid fertilisers. Popular testing suites include:
- total acid extractable macro and micronutrients (P, K, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, B, Si, Co, and Mo) with total C, N and S testing.
- nitrate and ammonium levels.

Measuring and analysing total amount of essential macro and micro nutrients
$84 per sample for 1-2 samples
$63 per sample for 3+ samples
Includes total amount of essential macro and micro nutrients testing as well as leaf washing for preventing chem/foliar nutrients contamination
$95 per sample for 1-2 samples
$74 per sample for 3+ samples
Microbial testing
Microbial testing measures the living biomass of key microbial groups important for soil health and productivity, directly from your sample. Results are presented in a way that allows you to easily assess the microbial health of your soil in detail and indicates what that means in practice.
Testing for living Biomass of 12 Key Microbial Groups, Nutrient Solubilisation Rate, Nutrient Cycling Rate, Disease Resistance, Drought Resistance, Nutrient Accessibility (VAM), Residue Breakdown Rate, Overall Microbial Balance, Fungi : Bacteria Ratio, Microbial Diversity, Bacterial Stress, Total Bacteria, Total Fungi, Total Microorganisms
- Good overview of soil microbial health
- Benchmarking soil microbial status
All pricing ex GST, additional costs for postage apply
12 microbial groups key biomass, used in-season for cropping
$272
12 microbial groups key biomass, used pre season for cropping
$309
