The  Floratine  way:

1.) Accumulation of soil, tissue, and Water soluble paste extraction tests along with physical examination and client dialogue for information gathering.

2.) Agronomically correct interpretation and evaluation, for a Turfgrass environment, of these test results.

3.) Recommendation of scientifically sound, environmentally safe methods and materials to promote optimum soil functioning and turf quality. 

4.) Continuing monitoring and appropriate program adjustments to achieve maximum health and aesthetics.

Testing of the soil is completed to determine what inputs your soil needs or doesn't need. Soil Testing is conducted by a professional accredited lab.  CEC, pH, buffer pH, Organic Matter, Ca : Mg ratio, Soluble Salts and nutrients along with Base Saturation of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium,Sodium and Hydrogen. All are reported with their actual results along with their target range per the C.E.C.

Turfgrass Tissue testing is completed to determine what nutrients are in the grass. 12 nutrients are reported with their actual levels along with their target ranges. This test conducted at the same time as a soil test can give you a very good idea as to what nutrients are available or not available.

This test is completed to determine how much and at what level the nutrients are available to the turfgrass through the soil solution. This test takes a sample of your soil, adds either distilled water, or even better, your irrigation water. The soil solution is then sucked from it and analyzed for nutrients. The nutrients found in this solution is what is available to the turfgrass roots.

This test takes a sample of the turfgrass along with its soil to determine exactly what disease pathogen is or isn't attacking the turfgrass. Within 24 hours of taking the sample the results will be called in to you. You can talk directly to the lab on the results and discuss the recommended curative action. This lab is not tied into anyone and will tell you what curative action should or will not work.
