3. ANALYSIS OF FERTILIZER SAMPLE FOR RESEARCH AND OTHER
PURPOSES
The Laboratory Services Division (LSD) conducts various laboratory analyses in support to
researches on fertilizer by high school, undergraduate, and graduate students as well as by
agricultural researchers. LSD also offers its laboratory services to those fertilizer handlers who
conduct their own product quality monitoring, either by the analysis of retained sample or from the
market. This is subject to the capability of LSD to provide the service per client's analytical
procedure and availability of reagents and laboratory equipment and apparatus.
