Soil Analysis Packages

Basic Soil Analysis fruitblossom.jpg

Primary purpose is to determine "Pre-Plant" fertility and pH in order to get necessary immobile nutrients incorporated prior to planting.

Includes pH, buffer pH, organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium

Complete Soil Analysis

Assessment tool for establishing baseline of the critical plant-available nutrients for fruit crops

Includes pH, buffer pH, organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, boron, zinc, manganese, copper, iron and cation exchange capacity (CEC)

pH

Monitors effects of lime or sulfur applications or long term nitrogen applications.

Nitrate

Plant-available form of nitrogen.

Electrical Conductivity

Measures the soluble salts content of the soil.

Heavy Metals

Call for details.

Plant Tissue Analysis

Tissue testing is the backbone of any nutrition management plan for vineyards, orchards and strawberry plantations.  Routine tissue analysis detects low nutrient concentrations.  Tissue testing predicts the fertilizer needs of your crop, diagnoses problems, and evaluates the effectiveness of your fertilizer program.

Includes total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, sodium, aluminum and boron
