N, S, P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, B, Na, Mo, Cl, & NO3.

As a general rule you should collect the youngest fully expanded leaves available.

General sampling instructions

• In designing your sampling plan try to select trees/ bushes etc of the same variety and rootstock along the sampling path. A typical random sampling pattern is shown below.
• Exclude pollinators and diseased or otherwise abnormal trees and bushes.
• Exclude dusty or soil contaminated plants and do not sample fields within 3-5 days after being sprayed with pesticides or foliar nutrients.

IMPORTANT - UNLESS OTHERWISE ADVISED, PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU SEND AT LEAST ABOUT 200 GRAMS (ABOUT TWO HAND FULLS) OF FRESH PLANT MATERIAL FOR EACH SAMPLE REQUIRING LABORATORY ANALYSIS.
