SOIL TESTING
Our agriculture testing is designed for commercial agriculture crops. Our database includes 216 different crops. If a crop and realistic goal are submitted, you will get recommendations included in your report. Our Submission Form allow you to submit two different crops or one crop with two yield goals which show on your report. For your convenience, an example report is available in the Downloads section.
For gardens, lawns, and golf courses we also have a specific test. You'll find their example reports in the Downloads section. For their submission forms click HERE.
A very popular test is the Soil Solution test (1S). This test gives you a regular soil analysis but also what is available in the soil solution. Having adequate extractable fertility does not necessarily mean that everything is available to the plant in the soil solution.
There are several techniques to collect a sample. In the Download's section you'll find "How to Collect a Soil Sample" to see what we recommend on collecting. Also there is our laboratory methods.
