Sampling Assistance

Some common objectives of soil & pasture testing are:

  • To determine the nutrient status of soils and pasture.
  • To indicate clearly the existence of any deficiency, excess or imbalance of major nutrients.
  • To aid in assessing fertilizer and lime requirements for growing resilient and healthy pastures

To assist you in taking soil and pasture samples for testing, we have put together the easy-to-follow video tutorials below. Further detailed information is also available on our resource Soil and Pasture Sampling Instructions.
