Discover the different types of soil pollution, their causes, their impacts and how Pouryère helps you analyze and restore healthy soil.

Soil analysis for individuals allows you to understand the nature, composition, and fertility of your soil before gardening, growing crops, or building. It helps determine the pH, texture, nutrient content, and detect potential pollutants (heavy metals, hydrocarbons, PFAS, pesticides, etc.). With this data, you can choose plants suited to your soil, improve its quality, and ensure the success of your crops. From at-home soil testing kits to comprehensive laboratory analyses, several options are available to suit your needs and budget (from €15 to €300). The analyses offered by Pouryère, particularly the Solkit, provide a complete assessment and personalized advice to maintain the health of your soil. Ideally, an analysis is carried out in spring or autumn, and can be renewed every two to three years, especially after planting or in case of suspected pollution.

Soil analysis is an essential step in understanding the composition, fertility, and structure of your land. It allows you to adjust NPK inputs, optimize farming practices, and prevent yield losses. Performed by an accredited laboratory, it measures key indicators such as pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), organic matter, salinity, and the presence of pollutants. Indispensable for organic farms or those pursuing High Environmental Value (HVE) certification, soil analysis contributes to higher-performing and more environmentally friendly crops. Discover how it works, its costs, frequency, and available financial assistance to better manage the fertility of your fields.
