Irrigation Water Testing – METS Laboratories
Ensuring safe and sustainable agricultural practices begins with water—the lifeline of farming. At METS Laboratories, we specialize in comprehensive Irrigation Water Testing to evaluate water quality used in agriculture and horticulture. Our testing protocols help farmers, agribusinesses, and landscape managers optimize crop productivity while minimizing health and environmental risks.
Why Irrigation Water Testing Is Important?
Poor-quality irrigation water can damage soil health, hinder plant growth, and reduce yields. It may also introduce harmful contaminants like heavy metals, pathogens, and excessive salts into the food chain. Testing helps:
• Ensure safe and efficient crop production
• Protect soil structure and fertility
• Comply with national and international agricultural standards
• Prevent buildup of toxic elements in produce
• Safeguard public health and ecosystems
