Yes, we accept samples from producers all over the world! Any samples that are submitted from outside the U.S. will need an APHIS label. You can request the APHIS label by emailing sales@wardlab.com.

Yes! We suggest one of two tests. For homeowners using conventional management practices (for example, synthetic fertilizers), we recommend our Routine Soil Analysis. For producers using natural approaches (for example, manure) a Haney Soil Health test may be beneficial.

Crop recommendations help producers understand how much fertilizer they’ll need to apply based on soil nutrient availability, the crop to be grown, and the anticipated yield.

Please include the crop and yield goal for up to 3 crops. If you’re unsure of the yield goal, please provide information like geography, irrigation/rainfall, past crops, cropping systems, etc, that may be helpful in determining your goal.

No, recommendations are always free!

Yes!

Yes! We are integrated with many platforms already and are willing to connect with yours.
