By using our Soil Test Kit, we can assist a homeowner to analyze the nutrient levels of their soil prior to planting a lawn, flowerbed, trees or garden. In this way we can suggest applications of specific elements before the plants be placed in the ground. If the need for nutrients is determined the correct nutrients can be mixed into the soil to insure healthy plant growth. By amending the soil in this fashion the investment in time and money to plant is assisted. One soil sample kit is included with each Soil Test Kit. One standard soil test analysis and one recommendation for your specific plant material is included. A general botanical fact sheet will be sent to you with in a week after we receive your sample.

   Our Soil Test Kit, are available for you to resell to customers. If you require analysis of potting soil or soilless media we can provide this service at a competitive price.

   We provide unbiased recommendations for nutrient applications on putting greens, tees, fairways and greens. We can also provide advanced GPS sampling techniques to enhance your management of nutrients. Agronomic trouble shooting of problems is available on a consulting fee basis. Consulting on weed control in ponds and lakes are available.

   We consult on weed management and control strategies in ponds and lakes

   Soil samples can be submitted to CAL MAR Labs with or without the request for unbiased recommendations on 130 crops.

•Nutrient sampling and management plans can be  developed with one of our agronomists.
•GPS soil sampling can be arranged with one of our  sampling crews.

   Our GIS (geographic information system) specialists can work with you to download harvest information from yield monitor PCMCIA cards. We can print hard copies of the yield maps, and assist in the evaluation of the data. Additional layers of information can be purchased from our mapping office, digitized soil survey maps, roads, hydrology. We can prepare "Precision Grid" soil-sampling maps created from information such as soil surveys and yield maps. With the use of remote sensing images of organic matter we can create a "Ultra Precision Grid"
soil-sampling map.

   Our GIS Mapping specialists utilize most of the popular GPS mapping software packages. We can support customers in obtaining, converting, storing or analyzing geo referenced information.

    Digital Aerial infrared and NIR images can be obtained through scheduling flights by April 15, 1999. Information targeted can include Bare Soil  image that can be converted into a organic map  image. Location of drain tiles can be attempted. This  is the most difficult of the maps to obtain due   to the  very narrow window of acquisition. In many  instances multiple attempts are required.
  
     In-season infrared, biomass accumulation images can be scheduled. Additional information can be requested including in-field weather information. If the entire package (4 images, weather information) is purchased a yield model can be utilized to accurately predict the predicted yield throughout the growing season. This yield model will utilize the daily weather data, in-season images, crop and soil productivity potentials to accurately predict yield.

    We also offer consulting to organizations that are looking for experience and expertise in the areas of crop consulting, GPS sampling, GIS information systems and software evaluation and development
