Please
submit plant samples in paper bags.
Plant analysis provides two
approaches to enhancing fertilizer effectiveness. One is the
diagnostic approach where plant analysis is made when there
is an obvious growth problem in the field. A sample is taken
from the poor growing area and compared to a sample from an
adjacent normal growing area.
Ward Laboratories, Inc. suggests using this
diagnostic approach to researching production problems. The
comparative samples are very important for proper
interpretation of the analysis. The cost for comparative
testing is first sample at regular fee, second sample at
one-half the regular fee.
The monitoring approach is used to confirm that the
plant had proper nutrition. Plant samples should be taken
when the crops are in the bloom (reproductive) stage of
growth. Samples taken earlier than bloom stage contain
higher levels of nutrients while samples taken during grain
fill will be lower. For this reason it is very important to
identify the growth stage for proper interpretation.

Our
testing procedures are:
1)
NH4-N (Ammonium)
US EPA, Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and
Wastewater, EPA-600/4-20 Revised March 1983, Method 351.2.
We use Lachat Instruments, Milwaukee, WI; Quik Chem Method
10-107-06-2-A, Ammonia in Surface Water, Wastewater (1992)
2)
NO3-N (Nitrate)
US EPA, Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and
Wastewater, EPA-600/4-20 Revised March 1983, Method 353.2.
We use Lachat Instruments, Milwaukee, WI; Quik Chem Method
10-107-01-1-A, Nitrate/Nitrite, Nitrite in Surface Water,
Wastewater (1995)
3)
Cl (Chloride)
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, 18th Edition (1992) page 4-49. Method 4500-Cl-
B. Argentometric Method.
Collection of Samples:
1)
Sample Labels:
The water testing sample bottles should be labeled
with the sender address and sample number or sample
identification.
2)
Chain-of-Custody record:
Fill out sample Information Sheets (obtained from
Ward Laboratories) with sender address, customer or client
ID, location ID and sample number to accompany each group of
samples. A note should indicate analysis desired. Retain one
copy for your records.
3)
Sample Delivery:
Cool samples as soon as taken and send as soon as
practical in a cooler with ice packs. Coolers will be
returned to sender. Be sure to enclose Sample Information
Sheets.
4)
The laboratory assigns laboratory numbers to each container
and records numbers on Sample Information Sheet.
5)
After results are completed a report of analytical data will
be sent to sample submitter along with Sample Information
Sheet. Reports may also be e-mailed or faxed.
