The Macaulay Institute, Aberdeen has launched a suite of soil analyses targeted at the agricultural community with the introduction of www.MacaulaySoils.com. This service is designed to provide easy access through a new Website to the Macaulay’s soil analysis laboratories, providing a fast turnaround from sampling to analysis report.
Aimed at providing farmers, horticulturists, groundsmen and gardeners with excellent, accredited (ISO 17025) soils data rapidly, the service has been launched in response to increasing demand for soils analysis to comply with environmental legislation. It will particularly benefit users in remote locations where waiting times for visits from representatives of conventional analytical service organisations cansignificantly delay the receipt of results.




The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute and SCRI joined forces on 1 April 2011 to create The James Hutton Institute. It is the first Institute of its type in Europe and will make major, new contributions to the understanding of key global issues such as food, energy and environmental security.
