Plant Tissue Analysis

Plant tissue analysis can be a valuable crop management tool. Alone, it can be used for making “in season” fertilizer recommendations for certain crops, such as tree fruits and grapes. For other crops, plant tissue analysis in combination with soil test information can be helpful when troubleshooting or diagnosing nutrient deficiencies and determining fertilizer requirements.
