Key Information
Soil testing for commercial growers is intended for large farms or other large agricultural operations. Lime and fertilizer recommendations for commercial properties are given in "tons per acre" and "lbs per acre" respectively. If you are sampling on property that is 1 acre or less, use the Soil Sample Submission Form for Homeowners which provides recommendations for lime and fertilizer in lbs. / 1,000 sq. ft.
- For routine soil sampling, use the Predictive submission form.
- For problem samples, use the Diagnostic submission form.
- If you have more than eight samples, use the Excel continuation page.
IMPORTANT: Soilless media, also known as potting soil or greenhouse media, or organic material that contains less than 50% native, mineral soil is NOT considered soil and should NOT be submitted to the soil testing lab. Please submit under Soilless Media Analysis.
