Plant analysis for testing nutrient levels in soybeans
When crop fields appear variable, producers often wonder if the variability is related to nutrient status. Plant analysis can be an excellent tool for monitoring nutrient levels or diagnosing problems. Learn more in this article.
Plant analysis for testing nutrient levels in corn
Plant analysis is an excellent in-season “quality control” tool. It can be especially valuable for managing secondary and micronutrients that do not have high-quality, reliable soil tests available, and for providing insight into how efficiently you are using applied nutrients.
Plant analysis for testing nutrient levels in corn
Plant analysis is an excellent diagnostic tool to help understand some of the variation among corn plants in the field. This testing can also be used for general monitoring or quality control purposes. There are different guidelines for tissue collection depending on how you plan to use the test results.
Plant analysis for testing nutrient levels in corn
Plant analysis for nutrients is an excellent in-season “quality control” tool. It can be especially valuable for managing secondary and micronutrients that do not have high-quality, reliable soil tests available. Plant analysis can be used for diagnostic purposes and to monitor nutrient levels at a certain growth stage. Learn more in this article about using this test for corn.

Sample handling practices affect the accuracy of plant tissue nitrate tests
Plant tissue analysis is valuable for many applications, including evaluating fertilizer management practices, identifying nutrient deficiencies, and determining hay and forage crops' safety and nutritional value. However, the accuracy of these tests is often limited by the quality of the sample that the laboratory receives. Learn about the surprising results of a recent study at K-State.
Plant analysis for testing nutrient levels in corn
Plant analysis is an excellent in-season "quality control" tool. It can be especially valuable for managing secondary and micronutrients for which high-quality, reliable soil tests are not available and for providing insight into how efficiently the crop is using applied nutrients. Consider adding this agronomic practice to your toolbox.
Plant analysis for testing nutrient levels in corn
Plant analysis is a valuable tool for diagnosing nutrient deficiencies and evaluating in-season nutrient uptake in corn. This article outlines when and how to sample, what nutrients to test, and how to interpret lab results. Pairing tissue testing with soil samples can help fine-tune your fertility program.
