Pesticide Analysis in Soil
To provide proper interpretation, it is very important to submit a representative sample as well as an adequate amount of sample to be analyzed. An additional amount of sample may be required
if several tests are requested. Provide sample depth information.
The sample should not be dried. Do not submit samples for pesticide analysis in plastic containers.
