An agricultural lab turns a handful of soil or a sample of seed into advice a farmer can act on. Soil pH and nutrients decide the fertilizer, seed moisture and germination decide whether a lot is worth sowing, and grain moisture decides its price and how long it will store. Results need to be quick and cheap enough to run on hundreds of samples a season.

Hindustan Scale Company (HSCo), Mumbai, has supplied weighing and laboratory equipment since 1955. For soil testing labs, seed testing labs, agricultural universities and agri-input companies we supply pH and conductivity meters, flame photometers, spectrophotometers, moisture analysers and grain moisture meters, BOD and seed germination incubators, hot air ovens, balances and glassware. Tell us what you test and we’ll name the instruments.

What an agricultural lab tests, and with what

  • Soil pH and salinity – pH and conductivity meters, bench and portable.
  • Soil nutrients – flame photometers for potassium and sodium, spectrophotometers for other nutrients.
  • Moisture – hot air ovens with balances, halogen moisture analysers, grain and fibre moisture meters.
  • Seed testing – germination and BOD incubators, balances and counting.
  • Irrigation water – pH, conductivity and turbidity meters.

Running hundreds of samples a season

Soil testing labs are busiest just before sowing, when every farmer wants results at once. Instruments that are quick to calibrate and easy to run matter more then than the finest specification. Calibrate pH meters at the start of each session, run a known sample every batch, and keep spare electrodes, because a tired electrode is the most common reason pH results drift.

Seed testing

Seed labs test purity, moisture and germination. Moisture needs a moisture analyser or an oven with a balance, germination needs incubators that hold a steady temperature for days, and purity work needs a good balance and a clean bench. Accurate seed moisture also protects stored seed, because damp seed loses germination quickly.

Questions buyers ask

pH and conductivity meters, a flame photometer for potassium, a spectrophotometer, a hot air oven, balances and glassware. HSCo supplies all of them.

With a halogen moisture analyser in the lab, or a hand-held fibre moisture meter (TK100, 0 to 80%) at the godown.

Yes, BOD and cooling incubators with programmable temperature.

Yes. See our agriculture page for platform scales, weighbridges and grading scales.

Tell us what you test and how many samples a season, and we’ll name the instruments and send a quotation. Call or WhatsApp +91-7045922250.
