Welcome to the Soil Testing Laboratory
at the University of Minnesota

The Soil Testing Laboratory provides routine soil testing and fertilizer recommendation services to:

Why should you have your soil tested? Soil testing:

• takes the guesswork out of fertilizer recommendations;
• makes good economic sense; and
• ensures fertile soil without excess fertilizer application or pollution of the environment.

Our fertilizer recommendations are:

• based on laboratory results, soil characteristics, past crop history, and crop nutrient requirements; and
• specific to Minnesota locations and conditions.
