Colleagues:
I am searching for a reliable soil analytical lab that will do the
following at a reasonable price:
basic macronutrients (total N, P, K, Ca, Mg) and organic content (C)
moisture potential or estimated water holding capacity
physical texture (clay/silt/sand)
There are other variables that we want (eg, pH, cation exchange
capacity, bulk density), but for the above essentials, does anyone
know of a lab that will do a package for less than ~ $20 per sample?
A&L labs is my current best candidate but they do not combine
physical and chemical tests into a package, and thus their 'a la
carte' price is higher than I'd like. There are many other labs out
there-does anyone know of a good one to recommend?
Thanks,
Dan Gruner
