    The document discusses challenges facing soil and plant analysis in Africa such as limited agricultural land, soil nutrient deficiencies, and lack of standardized testing procedures. It then summarizes opportunities provided by IITA, including establishing a state-of-the-art analytical soil and plant laboratory that offers quality assurance, testing services, and capacity building to support research on efficient and sustainable agricultural practices. The laboratory also develops long-term databases and international collaborations to further improve quality management.

    State of the Art Analytical Soil and Plant Laboratory Facilities:

    Challenges:

     Additionally, the high population density and urbanization of agricultural lands has
    resulted in:
     Limited land availability for agricultural production
     This also lead to faster soil and plant nutrient deficiency
     The soils and plants analytical results are not standardized in the national
    research systems
     Therefore, it is important to use standardized operation procedures to
    determine the plant and soil status, as well as, the fertilizer nutrient
    composition

    Opportunities/IITA Intervention:

     We have also established state of the art analytical soil and plant laboratory. This
    offers sound quality assurance systems to the regional laboratories.
     It also provides frequent soil sampling and testing services to small, medium and
    large crop growers, fertilizer companies, NGO and government bodies.
     We, build the capacity of the National Research Institutions
     The laboratory is positioned to benefit from, and contribute to international research,
    attracting further supports and investment in this area.
     The facility also allows the development of a long-term analytical database
    supporting further research for efficiency and sustainability.
     To improve quality management systems, we have established links with
    advanced laboratories internationally.
