Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

The Soil and Land Health Laboratory is a global leader is spectral data analytics.

We conduct accurate, cost-efficient and rapid analysis of soils, plants and agricultural inputs using dry spectral methods.

Number of regional labs
Number of spectra in the database
Number of samples logged
Number of instruments

Features

Sample submission

Sample pricelist and analytical packages, receipt acknowledgement, registration and accessioning

Scheduling and Monitoring of Analyses

Sample tracking at processing, preparation and analysis work stations.

Spectral data

Raw binary data files from the instruments and conversion to processed excel (CSV or xls) files with peak intensities for extraction of soil functional properties

Advanced Instrumentation

Advanced infrared and x-ray spectrometers for rapid, low-cost, high-throughput spectral analyses.

Spectral Predictions

Data analytics based on the spectral library to develop robust spectral calibration and validation models of key functional soil properties.

Archived Soil Sample Curation

Valuable physical repository for systematically collected samples with associated data on location and actual sample weights at CIFOR-ICRAF physical soil archives.
