Landscape Analysis Packages

All landscape soil analyses include a page of analytical results and two pages of recommendations that are based on the results. The recommendations (based on application to 1000 square feet) provide suggestions for application of fertilizers and other soil amendments that will optimize plant growth in the soil analyzed. Additionally, analysis of soil amendments provide the tool to optimize the amendment's use and suggestions included indicate where addition of other additives (i.e. nitrogen fertilizer, lime) would be appropriate to maximize the benefit of the amendment. Other analysis packages that are often used include analysis for compost, manure, fertilizer and container media. Additionally, any of the individual analyses can be utilized to process landscape samples.

XTP.4 Complete Compost Nutrient Analysis  
    Because compost is typically a combination of soil and plant material it is appropriate to analyze for both total nutrients (XTP.3) and immediately available nutrients (LTP.4). Analysis package includes: pH, Conductivity (ECe),Total Dissolved Salts, % Moisture, Bulk Density (#/yd), Organic Matter, C/N Ratio, Nitrate, Total Nitrogen, and analysis for both (2 analyses each) total and available for: Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Sulfur. Results provided in pounds/ton  
XTP.5 Container Media Analysis  
    All analyses from Saturation Extract: pH, Conductivity (ECe), Total Dissolved Salts, Nitrate, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium Absorption Rate (SAR)
