Dear Noa Lincoln,

Plant Analysis

Tests in this area include Plant Tissue Analysis, the Late Season Cornstalk Nitrate Test, and the At Harvest Corn Silage Nitrate Test.

Plant Tissue (Total) Analysis

Plant tissue analysis is a valuable aid in crop management. Alone, it can be used for making fertilizer recommendations for certain crops, such as tree fruits and grapes. For other crops, plant tissue analysis in combination with soil test information is the recommended approach for diagnosing nutrient deficiencies and determining fertilizer requirements.

Late Season Cornstalk Nitrate Test

The Late Season Cornstalk Nitrate Test has been demonstrated to be a reliable end-of-season indicator of crop N status based on research performed throughout PA as well as other states.

At Harvest Corn Silage Nitrate Test

Any suspect feed should be tested for nitrate levels before feeding. The silage can also be tested at harvest to determine if nitrates are a cause for concern. Because nitrate levels decline during ensiling, regular forage tests for formulating rations, taken as the silage is fed, should also include a nitrate analysis.

Regards,

Noa Lincoln

Aloha Prem. Thank you of the information. I do, however, know how to conduct all these analyses myself and what they mean. What I am looking for is a analytical lab that I can pay to do the analyses for me, since I do not have the time to do them myself.

Eric B. Brennan

Aloha Noa,

I've been using the UC Davis Analytical Lab http://anlab.ucdavis.edu/ for all my plant and soil analyses for many years. The do excellent work. take care, Eric

Thanks Eric. I use UC Davis for all my stable isotope work and am always happy with them. I was looking at their plant analysis lab, but they seemed a little pricey. I guess thatʻs the price for quality.
