Soil Testing Kit - Tolland County

https://soiltesting.cahnr.uconn.edu/sampling/
Samples submitted for the Standard Nutrient Analysis are analyzed for plant available calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, aluminum and boron using a modified Morgan extractant. The soil pH and buffer pH are determined and the samples are screened for estimated total lead. Estimated Cation Exchange Capacity and % Base Saturation are also provided. Limestone and fertilizer recommendations are made based on test results and the crop being grown. (Soils sent in our pre-paid soil test collection kits sold by some Cooperative Extension Centers receive this test). The standard nutrient analysis is appropriate for lawns, vegetables, flowers, woody ornamentals, fruits, agronomic crops and for nursery crops (like Christmas trees) grown in mineral soil. This test is not suitable for composts or soilless media.
