Delta Urban Soils Laboratory
Why is soil testing important?
Understanding and testing the health of your soil is important for many reasons, such as improving crop production, reducing contaminants that negatively impact the environment, and an increased understanding of the nutrients that are available and needed in the soil for successful plant growth and development. Soil testing helps determine the health of your land because healthy land produces healthy crops.
