– Environmentally Responsible
– To know the Nutrient Levels of the Soil
– Avoid over applying Fertilizer
– Improve Soil Conditions
– Increases the Yield
– It saves the growers money

Early to Mid - 1990’s
• 30 % Reduction on Nitrogen Fertilizer usage
• Plant tissue sampling and analysis
• Proficiency Testing Program
– NAPT (North American Proficiency Testing
Program)
– ALP (Agricultural Laboratory Proficiency
Program)

PSNT (Pre side-dress Nitrate Testing) - Quick Test
1994-96
• Cooperating Grower on a Research work with U.C. Davis
(Dr. Tim Hartz)
• Nitrogen testing during the life cycle of the crop (Quick Test)
• 20 ppm NO3-N - no additional fertilizer is needed at this time
• Quick Test is a useful tool for growers to efficiently manage
