Plant Tissue Sample for Nutrient Analysis:  Carefully review tissue sampling procedures online prior to taking samples to make sure you have taken a representative sample and that you have sampled enough plants to provide the lab with an adequate sample for analysis.  Keep in mind that plant tissue samples are dried and subsequently ground, leaving only a fraction of the originally submitted sample available for analysis, so the results will only be as good as the sample submitted.  

• Submit clean undamaged leaf tissue in a paper bag. 
• Submit at least a half a lunch bag full of tissue. 
• Label bag and make sure submittal form matches with sample. 
• Be sure to include account number on form.
