Program Includes:

* Soil Testing with Complete Fertilizer Recommendations.

* Plant Tissue Analysis with Corrective Dry and Liquid Foliage Fertilizer Recommendations.

* Production Counseling and Agronomy Consultation related to Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition.

* Soil and Plant Laboratory Test Report, Interpretations, and Recommendations.

Spring Soil Test and Maintenance Fertilizer Recommendations:

One composite soil sample will be taken from each test site and the sample will be analyzed for:

pH Potassium Iron CEC (% Base Saturation): Buffer pH Calcium Copper Sodium Organic Matter % Magnesium Manganese Hydrogen ENR Sodium Zinc Calcium Phosphorus Sulfur Boron Magnesium Aluminum Molybdenum Potassium

Corrective dry and liquid fertilizer recommendations will be given based on each soil test site.

Summer Leaf and Tissue Analysis:

In the months of July or August, one leaf sample will be collected from each test site and analyzed for:

Nitrogen      Sodium            Zinc         Magnesium     Aluminum      Phosphorus     Sulfur       Boron Manganese  Molybdenum   Potassium Copper          Calcium         Iron

Corrective or maintenance dry and liquid fertilizer recommendations will be given based on laboratory test results.

Fall Soil Test:

Complete soil analysis is for fall fertilizer recommendations to assure a healthy crop in the following year. This program of testing and consultation is specifically for vegetable growers needs in the United States and Canada.
