Soil Analysis Service

A professional nutritional assessment and advice service for amenity turf.

The Scotts Professional Soil Analysis Service measures the concentration of the major nutritional components present in the soil, and is a service to Scotts UK & Ireland Professional customers.

The Kit
The scotts Professional Soil Analysis Kit contains all the components for having six separate soil samples analysed.  The samples are posted to the research laboratories for analysis.  These laboratories are independently operated using state of the art technology.

The Results
The samples are analysed individually for the following:

• pH status of the sample
• Phosphorus concentration
• Potassium concentration
• Magnesium concentration

It should be noted that high levels of Phosphorus are usually present in the soil but are mostly tightly bound to the soil resulting in little free Phosphorus being available.  The Phosphorus in each soil sample is analysed by special chemical assays that measure only the available Phosphorus, and is therefore a true measure of the concentration available to the plant.

The computer will then assess all results against the criteria the customer provides on the record card and prints out the yearly requirements for Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in kilogrammes per hectare.

To obtain a Soil Analysis Kit the customer should contact their local Scotts Professional Sales Manager.

Scotts is also able to arrange tissue/leaf analysis and water analysis.  Please contact your local Scotts Professional Sales Manager for more details.
