Solution Analysis
Purpose
Solution analysis measures plant nutrients and other parameters relevant to agricultural production in groundwater, surface water and nutrient solutions. Laboratory results and recommendations aid in management of irrigation water quality, hydroponic and fertigation systems, livestock and poultry drinking water, and aquaculture and fish pond management.
Note: the Solution Analysis Laboratory does NOT test for:
- microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa
- organic chemical contaminants, such as petroleum products, pesticides, and herbicides
The Agronomic Division accepts solution samples from both individual growers and research institutions, nation-wide. Select the submission process below that best describes your operation. If you are uncertain about your submission category, please contact the Laboratory Director or Agronomist below.
