AGROBALANCE Standard Package
AgroBalance is a complex agronomic service, thanks to which farmers receive detailed information at block level about the amount of available food stocks in the soil. In addition to professional soil sampling and analyzes, the service also includes individual recommendations, where and how much nutrients it is necessary to apply in order to achieve optimal results in plant nutrition and reach the desired yield. In the scope of AgroBalance, full traceability is ensured — from taking the samples from the field to obtaining the final results and recommendations.
AgroBalance Standard is available in two versions — for a period of 1 year and for a period of 4 years.
1.Automated standard-compliant sampling
Soil sampling performed according to ISO standards (0-30 cm) using specialized equipment and an automated probe. We establish the general agrochemical profile (nutrient reserves) across your farm's fields. The size of the sampling grids is determined in accordance with the Bulgarian State Standard. Each user receives access to information regarding: the exact route taken by the sampling team and the precise location of the sampling grids within each individual field.
2. Soil analysis
Analysis in the specialized NIC Agro Service laboratory, accredited according to BDS, for the following indicators:
- soil reaction (pH)
- nutrients (total mineral nitrogen – ammonium N-NH4 and nitrate nitrogen N-NO3), available phosphorus (P2O5), exchangeable potassium (K2O), available forms of calcium (CaO), magnesium (MgO), sulfur (S), sodium (Na2O), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and boron (B).
3. Agrochemical analysis and fertilization recommendations
- Digital agrochemical maps
Preparation of digital agrochemical maps with information on the distribution of the following indicators: soil reaction (pH), nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. - Fertilization recommendations
The NIC Agro Service agronomy team creates an individual balanced fertilization plan for each plot and crop.
4. Collecting control samples during vegetation
One plant sample and its corresponding soil sample from each block. Analysis of control samples for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, sodium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, and boron content. The agronomy team monitors crop status and prepares a document with comments on the results and guidance for subsequent actions.
5. Taking control soil samples after harvesting – 20% of the initial number of samples.
Based on the results obtained, NIC Agro Service agronomists prepare fertilization recommendations for the next agricultural year.

All AgroBalance service users receive access to the Agrimi crop monitoring platform, where they can visualize:
- the route and soil sampling points;
- digital agrochemical maps showing the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and pH levels for the respective plot.
