[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has installed an advanced soil component precision testing device, ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer), in the Agricultural Technology Center's Soil Analysis Laboratory to fully support stable agricultural activities.

The county, which had been experiencing disruptions in soil analysis due to frequent breakdowns of outdated equipment, replaced it with a device costing 160 million KRW that offers faster analysis speed, improved accuracy, and minimized error values compared to the previous model, enabling precise and consistent analysis.

By using this equipment to analyze soil samples, the amount of elements within the soil samples can be measured.

With the purchase of the latest ICP equipment, farmers practicing eco-friendly agriculture, as well as GAP-certified and conventional farms, can receive rapid and accurate soil analysis to support eco-friendly agricultural practices and promote eco-friendly certification and GAP certification.

Shin Jae-soon, director of the Agricultural Technology Center, stated, “Soil nutrient management is the foundation of agricultural production and is the most important aspect of agricultural technology. If fertilizers are used based on soil prescriptions that identify nutrient deficiencies in the soil, it can contribute to the production of high-quality agricultural products. We will improve the quality of the county’s scientific farming technology support services through this equipment purchase.”
