Agronomy Lab Analyst

AGNEMA is an Ag analytical laboratory that provides plant health services to the growers and agriculture companies.

We test soil and plant materials to detect soil-borne diseases and plant pathogens, analytes, and soil health properties.

The main responsibilities of this role are primarily routine, protocol driven tasks.

Tasks are expected to be performed with a high level of autonomy.

You will perform both general and technical lab duties which primarily include, but are not limited to:

Evaluates soil, water, plant tissue, and seed samples to help growers optimize crop yields, manage fertilizers, and protect environmental health.

The analyst prepares samples, operates analytical instruments, and validates data for quality control.

• Sample Preparation: Receive, log, dry, grind, and sieve agricultural samples (soil, plant, seed) so they are homogeneous and ready for testing.
• Chemical Analysis: Perform extractions and titrations to measure key properties such as elements, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and organic matter.
• Instrument Operation: Run tests using specialized laboratory machinery—such as ICP spectrometers for nutrient analysis (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and chromatographs for pesticide residue.
• Data Management: Record, process, and validate analytical data to ensure accuracy and compliance with agricultural or environmental standards.
• Equipment Maintenance: Calibrate, clean, and troubleshoot laboratory equipment to maintain optimal performance and avoid testing delays
• Reporting: Prepare detailed reports and charts on test results to help agronomists and growers make informed crop management decisions.
