Soil and plant diagnostics are complementary Soil and plant diagnostics are complementary and serve different purposes and serve different purposes
Tissue test does not completely replace a soil Tissue test does not completely replace a soil test test
Plant analysis is effective in monitoring in-Plant analysis is effective in monitoring in-season nutrient needs, especially of perennial season nutrient needs, especially of perennial cropscrops
The tissue tests confirm suspected nutrient The tissue tests confirm suspected nutrient deficiency symptoms, reveal hidden hunger deficiency symptoms, reveal hidden hunger and verify toxicitiesand verify toxicities
Nutrient deficiencies corrected through foliar Nutrient deficiencies corrected through foliar applications, although not always effectiveapplications, although not always effective

Leaf diagnosis shows nutrient status Leaf diagnosis shows nutrient status at the time of sampling reflecting soil at the time of sampling reflecting soil fertility status fertility status
Soil fertility status in turn is also Soil fertility status in turn is also determined by temperature, water, determined by temperature, water, management factors, nutrient balance, management factors, nutrient balance, etcetc
Leaf analysis has to be integrated with Leaf analysis has to be integrated with soil analysis for confirming the soil analysis for confirming the deficiency, sufficiency or toxicitydeficiency, sufficiency or toxicity
