In agricultural analysis, a soil sample of 0.5 grams is weighed out for microbiological investigations with a precision balance. This soil sample consists partly of organic matter, i.e. of dead and rotted plant parts and of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, etc.). ) There are also nematodes and roundworms in the soil. The amount of these organisms is to be determined by DNA determination. The exact weighing of 0.5 grams of soil sample is essential for the investigation, as otherwise the results can be falsified

Excessive salt levels in irrigation water can cause significant problems in agriculture, as salt can affect soil structure and damage plants. Regular analysis of irrigation water is therefore crucial to ensure that the quality of the water keeps plants healthy and maximizes their crop yields.
