Soil Tests Jump Start AgroVantage® System

Take the guesswork out of diagnosing your soil’s nutrient requirements. Because each field has its own unique characteristics, soil testing is the first, critical component of all successful nutrient management programs. Without knowing the amount of nutrients in the soil, you may waste money on unnecessary inputs and not reach your yield goals.

Unlike many other soil tests that offer just the basics, Conklin’s partnership with Midwest Laboratories® provides Web-based, interactive soil and/or plant tissue analysis with professional, easy-to-understand results. Not only will you receive a real-time, personalized diagnosis of your field’s nutrient status, you’ll get crop specific AgroVantage nutrient recommendations for the upcoming planting season.

Soil testing is essential to maximize the effectiveness of your crop production operation. The AgroVantage system provides one of the most technologically advanced soil analysis systems available. Results include nutrient recommendations and application rates for nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and secondary and micronutrients.

Tissue Testing Measures Plant Nutrient Levels

In addition to soil analysis, Midwest Laboratories provides plant tissue analysis. The nutrient status of the plant is one of the most overlooked factors affecting crop yields. A measure of the flow of nutrients to plant tissues during the growing season will detect unseen deficiencies before visual symptoms appear. Plant tissue analysis provides a tool to correct nutrient problems for the current season and diagnostic information to determine fertilizer applications for the coming season.
