Remove stones, roots, and debris. Sieve or break up clumps.
-
Ensure the soil is at room temperature (~19°C) for best results.
-
-
Prepare the Soil Suspension
-
Mix the soil with distilled or deionized water in the amount specified in the instruction manual or on the vial.
-
Let it settle for a few minutes.
-
-
Add the Test Reagent
-
Use the pipette to transfer the clear liquid into the selected test vial
-
Add the appropriate reagent (colored tablet or solution) according to the label.
-
-
Shake and Let It Develop
-
Close the vial and shake thoroughly.
-
Leave the vial to stand for a few minutes or as indicated until a color forms.

-
Compare the Result with the Color Chart

-
Troubleshooting – What if the Color Doesn’t Match the Chart?
If the liquid color does not match any on the provided chart, there may be two possible reasons:
-
The soil is too cold – ensure the sample is at room temperature (~19°C).
-
The reaction may need more time – allow the test to develop for up to 24 hours and then check the color again.
If neither of these resolves the issue, repeat the test, ensuring all measurements are accurate and that distilled water is used.
