SOIL TESTING LABORATORY

How to Have Your Soil Tested

The Soil Testing Laboratory is a part of Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Station (NJAES). Located on the G. H. Cook Campus, the Soil Testing
Laboratory is a service unit that offers chemical and mechanical analyses of
soils for the residents of New Jersey and for Rutgers University researchers.
Our mission is to provide accurate and timely soil and water test reports to
meet the unique agricultural and environmental needs of our state.

BENEFITS OF HAVING SOIL TESTED

Soil testing is economically prudent. The appropriate application of nutrients
and/or lime can save money. Don't buy nutrients that your soil doesn't need;
instead, invest in those nutrients that will bring about healthy growth and
yields.

To apply optimal levels of nutrients or lime to your soil, it is necessary to
know the existing pH and the availability of essential plant nutrients in the
soil. Having too much or too little of these nutrients or limestone can be
harmful to plant growth. We can help you adjust these levels for best results.

Soil testing is an environmentally responsible practice. Applying fertilizer or
other nutrient sources incorrectly can lead to nitrate or phosphorus
contamination of our water resources. By applying fertilizer appropriately, you
can ensure that you are "feeding" your plants in an environmentally friendly and
"green" way.
