Our methods have been optimized for regenerative practices, including various forms of carbon analysis, multiple extraction protocols, key ratio interpretations, and the inclusion of more analytes than most other labs.
Plant roots access nutrients in 3 key ways (interception, diffusion & mass flow)—by incorporating this understanding into our soil analysis methods, we help growers truly understand the difference between the total supply of nutrients in the soil, potential crop limiting elements, and nutrients available to the different parts of a plant root architecture.
Each soil analysis package utilizes a different set of scientific protocols to provide the necessary information the grower needs to make positive changes in favor of soil health.
Soil sampling is easy, and helps growers plan for proper in-season nutrition through precise recommendations that balance soil nutrition.

SOIL SOLUTION ANALYSIS-(Horizons)
This package rapidly analyzes root extractable shallow and deep soil horizons for a wide range of nutrients in one rapid test as modeled by water extractable hydraulic conductivity. Compares favorably to soil lysimeter monitoring and corresponds significantly with Apical’s Leaf Extract Analysis. (CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE REPORT)
SOIL NUTRIENT ANALYSIS-WATER EXTRACTABLE & CEC (M3)
This package shows what is immediately impacting your plants’ growth via mass flow and how to balance the CEC (TEC) of your soil to obtain estimates of minerals the plant can access via root interception. Ideal for managing bulk mineral applications. (CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE REPORT)
SOIL NUTRIENT ANALYSIS-WATER EXTRACTABLE & MODIFIED MORGAN
This method of soil analysis represents what is immediately impacting your plants’ growth via mass flow and estimates what is available to the plant for uptake in season from diffusion. Ideal for optimizing NPK applications and planning in-season liquid fertilization. (CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE REPORT)
SOIL NUTRIENT ANALYSIS-WATER EXTRACTABLE & TOTAL DIGESTABLE
This soil analysis package includes what is most readily available to the plant and also the total pool of soil resources. Ideal for those that are already doing CEC balancing that want to take a deeper look at total mineral soil resources and how they may be being depleted or accumulated via soil building.

PREMIUM SOIL NUTRIENT ANALYSIS-WATER EXTRACTABLE, M3, MODIFIED MORGAN
This package includes the Mehlich 3 analysis and the Modified Morgan analysis. Ideal for the committed grower who wants to optimize NPK applications, and monitor CEC and root uptake in a single report. (CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE REPORT)
SOIL NUTRIENT ANALYSIS-COMPLETE REPORT
This package includes the Mehlich 3, Modified Morgan, and Total Digestible analysis methods. Ideal for those starting new fields, managing high-dollar value crops, or anyone who wants the complete picture of their soil’s health (CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLE REPORT)
