Where do we buy soil testing kits?

[Chip]

Where can we buy soil testing kits for agricultural use? The kind that allow you to do everything yourself and test for soil acidity etc? I'm looking for those small portable ones anybody can use - similar to pool test kits.

TIA

Dati merun niyan sa Institute of Soil Science sa Agronomy Building ng University of the Philippines at Los Banos, College, Laguna

Sorry wala akong number ng office nila, pero since PLDT naman ang telephone line ng UPLB, baka pede kang matulungan ng directory assistance.

Wala pa rin akong sked kasi ng punta sa LB very soon eh, so hindi ko magawang daanan to ask.

Try mo rin sa Dept of Agriculture compound (sa Eliptical Road, QC) baka merun silang Soils Division dun.

Naka pasyal ako sa LB last week...tig P2000 daw ang soil test kit nila dun.

Merun din daw as QC - Bureau of Soils yata sa Dept of Agriculture, pero iba din daw yun.
