What it is:

  • A soil chemical test is an essential component of well-managed soils. A chemical test can quantify the nutrient and mineral content of your soil, and give you the information you need to confidently amend your soil while preventing over application of fertilizers, which can be costly and environmentally-damaging. NOFA/Mass Soil Technical Assistance Program Staff help by interpreting your soil test and giving you recommendations as to what amendments are best to apply, and when. We will work with you in developing a plan that meets your production goals, utilizing any amendments you’ve already purchased and providing recommendations for additional amendments.
