| Q. What should I know about pulling a soil sample? |
| A. Take soil samples at any convenient time. However, to receive an analysis and the recommendations early enough to enable getting the lime and fertilizer needed, it is best to sample in the Fall or early Spring. Areas selected for sampling should be as uniform as possible. Do not mix soils of differing color and/or texture. Dead furrows, eroded knolls, low spots and parts of a field where lime, manure, or fertilizer have been excessively applied or under applied should be avoided or sampled seperately.

| Q. How do I take a plant sample? |
| A. Tissue samples should be collected from healthy plants distributed randomly across the field in question in order to create a representative sample. Plants that are under stress, diseased, or show signs of insect or mechanical damage should be avoided. Do not mix different species of fruit or cultivars into one sample. When collecting tissue samples, store them in a clean container such as a plastic pail or paper bag. At no point during the sampling or shipping process should samples be placed in sealed plastic bags. Plastic bags or other airtight containers will not allow the plant to dry and may cause decomposition. Please follow the link below for complete instructions. Tissue Sampling Fact Sheet |

| Q. How do I interpret my Water Irrigation Analysis? |
| A. Irrigation water quality is dependent on its chemical composition. The concentration of mineral constiuents in the water varies depending on the amount of soluble materials encountered by the water. These soluble constituents are called soluble salts. If soluble salts are high they may be detrimental to plants.
