Frequently asked questions
How can plant tissue testing help my agricultural operation?
Testing identifies whether plants are nutrient deficient and which nutrients are lacking. It also detects heavy metal concentrations that could affect crop health or safety.
What happens after heavy metals are detected?
We provide ongoing monitoring to track the effectiveness of bioremediation efforts and help guide remediation strategies.
Are low levels of heavy metals always harmful to plants?
No, certain heavy metals in low concentrations are actually essential for plant growth. However, high concentrations can be toxic, reduce growth and yield, or even lead to plant death.
