The facility will provide soil and plant nutrient analysis, helping farmers across the country understand their soil and its nutrient composition better. This laboratory has automated soil testing service requests and the delivery of detailed test reports using Salesforce CRM.

Farmers receive timely, data-driven recommendations directly on their mobile phones. The laboratory’s services are integrated with the Gromor Nutri Advisory Portal, which offers stage-wise fertilizer recommendations tailored to soil data and crop needs. “This empowers them to make informed decisions on agri-input usage, promoting sustainable agricultural practices while safeguarding soil health for future generations,” a senior executive of Coromandel International said.



Arun Alagappan, Executive Chairman, and S Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director and CEO of the company inaugurated the company. The laboratory has advanced equipment such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), which provides precise detection of essential soil and plant nutrients; Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) which enables detailed leaf nutrient analysis. “By offering soil and leaf test-based fertilizer recommendations, we help farmers make informed, tailored decisions for specific crops, regions, and seasons,” Sankarasubramanian said.
