Plant Tissue Sampling

 

• Soil testing reveals soil health and nutrient profiles, but it does not indicate how well plants absorb these nutrients.

 

• Plant tissue sampling fills this gap by showing nutrient uptake and transport within the plant.

 

• When combined with soil testing, tissue analysis provides a comprehensive view of farm conditions, identifying nutrient usage, harmful organisms, diseases, or root growth issues.

 

• Ecobiom offers chemical testing of plant tissue, such as leaves or petioles, to assess nutrient status and plant health.

 

 

Benefits of Tissue Sampling

• Show problems with the absorption of nutrients.

 

• Diseases or fungi impacting plants.

 

• Nutrient movement and sugar processing.

 

• Stunted root growth.

 

• Monitoring crop nutrient status for maximum crop yield.

 

• Maintaining balanced plant nutrition levels for optimal yield quality.

 

• Predicting plant nutrition problems during the growing season to prevent production loss.

 

• Understanding the interplay of soil and plant nutrient uptake.

 

• Developing foliar spray programmes to correct nutritional shortages and imbalances.

 

• Determine the absorption of administered nutrients by the plant.

 

• Guiding animal health problems.
