Plant and Fruit Analysis

Plant nutrient analysis can be an important way to monitor plant health and proper nutrient uptake. Plant analysis results vary based on plant parts sampled and plant age. Be sure you sample plants properly to ensure accurate data. The Brookside T002 test package provides a complete determination of plant nutrients. The T002 test package includes: N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, S, Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Al.

Fruit analysis is very important for understanding fruit quality and storage ability. A proper balance of nutrients in fruit during production and at harvest can be monitored and used to predict crop needs and estimated storage. Brookside tests thousands of fruit samples (apples, cherries, berries, etc.) each year. The Brookside T004 test package provides a complete determination of fruit quality. The T004 test package includes: Moisture, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn.

Please note that Brookside provides analytical data.  If interpretations are needed, you should seek a consultant's guidance or contact your local extension office.
