Nitrogen (N) is a primary building block for plant protoplasm. It is needed for flower differentiation, speedy shoot growth, the health of flower buds and increases the quality of fruit set. It also acts as a catalyst for the other plant minerals.

We aim to meet our clients’ needs and requirements with integrity, bound by a professional code of conduct that governs how we operate and consult, as well as the procedures we follow in our laboratories, when conducting field trials and interacting with clients.

We offer private, independent services and analytics without bias towards any product, company or institution. We do not sell any of the agricultural inputs or machinery that we promote.

P is a key nutrient in any plant development. It plays various structural roles in plant from seedling stages all the way to maturity, It is well known for its role in forming ATP- energy unit used in photosynthesis. This makes Phosphorus vital in plant vigor.

Our partnerships across sub-Saharan Africa support the work we do, enabling us to offer the best possible services to clients and increase the impact of new knowledge and technology across the continent.

Potassium (K) is one of the key nutrients in plants mostly because its roles are wholly centred to functions with directly affect the quality of any produce, especially vegetables. It can be applied as a basal dressing where it is part of the normal NPK fertilizers as well as a foliar during flower and fruit set in various crops.

We are always looking to develop better technology and services for our clients. We are driven by research and innovation, and always looking for new approaches that can help us solve existing problems.

Magnesium (Mg) is also part of the trio of secondary nutrients in plants. Its availability dependent on the soil balance and pH of the soil.

Cropnuts is one of the few  ISO/IEC 17025 Kenas accredited calibration laboratories in East Africa. We’ve been accredited for close to 10 years now with a scope of 11 laboratory tests under the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation .

Calcium (Ca) is one of the secondary nutrients required by plants in adequate amount. It plays a key role in soil pH as well as the health of the plant.

Sulphur being a major nutrient plays vital roles in plant development processes. It’s only taken up by plants in its soluble form. This is further aided by the microbial activities in the soil.

Working with you to achieve healthy, sustainable soils

Water quality and industrial effluent analysis

Manganese (Mn) is an essential plant nutrient that plays a key role in several physiological processes

Iron (Fe) is one of the essential nutrients required for plant health and development. It is needed by plants in relatively low amounts.

Copper (Cu) functions in plants is rather more strategic in that it is needed for specific activities in plants during the development process.

Identify diseases and detect nutrient deficiencies in plants and seeds

Zinc (Zn) being a micro nutrient plays a vital role in plant growth and development. Being a major nutrient responsible for enzyme activity in plants it can be a real determiner of how productive a crop can be.

Molybdenum (Mo) is a trace element found in the soil and is required for the synthesis and activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase.
