ICRISAT’s Charles Renard Analytical Laboratory (CRAL) has joined the South-East Asia Laboratory NETwork (SEALNET) of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). FAO launched SEALNET in 2017 to strengthen the performance of laboratories and support harmonization of soil data sets and information towards development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for key soil tests. This is critical for soil information to be made comparable and interpretable across laboratories, countries and regions.
