What factors influence the price of an agricultural soil analysis?

The cost of a soil analysis depends on several criteria:

The number of parameters analyzed


Here are the types of parameters that are generally measured:

  • Basic analysis: pH, organic matter, N, P, K.

  • Complete analysis: pH, MO, NPK, trace elements, CEC, heavy metals, texture, possible pollution.

The surface area and number of samples


The following factors directly influence the final cost:

  • The larger the plot, the more sampling points will be needed.

  • The price increases with the number of samples sent to the laboratory .

Soil type and complexity


Depending on the cultures and technical constraints, the analytical needs vary:

  • Soil used for intensive market gardening, viticulture or arboriculture: more detailed analyses.

  • Extensive agricultural soil: standard analyses are sufficient.

The quality and certification of the laboratory


Price differences can also stem from the laboratory's reputation:

  • ISO 17025 accredited laboratories: more reliable.

  • Non-certified laboratories: less accurate results.

The different types of analyses and their prices

Here is a summary table of the prices generally observed:

Type of analysis Included settings Average price (€) Recommended frequency
Basic analysis pH, organic matter, N, P, K €60–90 Every 3–5 years
