Why Plant Material Sampling is Important
FAS offers a comprehensive leaf sampling package for all crops including macadamias, avocados, maize, fruit and vegetables.
Leaf sampling should be a routine part of crop management. It can be used to establish how effectively nutrients from the soil are being taken up, whether they are present in the crop in the correct balance, and whether there are any problems that need to be addressed.
