AT A GLANCE  

A rigorous quality control program, state-of-the art instrumentation and a full-time laboratory staff is standard when you select Harris Laboratory as your testing partner. You benefit from our years of experience and substantial investment in testing technology, each and every time we perform an analysis.

A scientific-based and effective turf management program is dependent upon your ability to accurately assess a variety of variables including fertility issues, proper soil amendments, and drainage problems-just to name a few.

Accurate data leads to accurate decisions.

  • Track fertility trends over time, ex. increase/decrease in phosphorus or soil pH over time, comes with consistent data
  • Troubleshoot problem areas, get the right answer to "why" an area is an issue
  • Recommendations of fertilizer and soil amendments-apply the right amount at the right time
  • Substantiate nutrient uptake through plant tissue analysis, ex. Is the high zinc from the soil test being taken up by the plant?
  • Monitor soil drainage conditions to quantify and determine the affects of soil amendments, mechanical aerification-even the need for tile drainage or the dreaded decision to reconstruct poor quality greens
