Nematode soil analysis is now available for Florida customers!
Nematodes are primarily found around the roots of plants, either directly in/on the roots or in the surrounding soil. Focus on soil samples in the root zone of symptomatic or suspect plants. Include both soil and roots in your sample if possible. A total sample size of a pint to one quart should be sufficient for analysis.
Samples should be collected in ziplock bags that are clearly labeled. Keep the samples as cool as possible (keep out of direct sunlight on hot vehicles) until shipping. If not shipping the same day samples are collected, keep the samples in a refrigerator until they are sent out. Ship samples to the address listed below. If paying electronically, please use the "Electronic Payment" button below after submitting your sample form.
Nematodes are one of the world’s most damaging plant pests. Damage to plant root and shoot systems by nematodes contributes to billions of dollars in losses annually. Agricultural crops, home lawns, nurseries, and greenhouses are all susceptible to nematode infestations. By extracting nematodes from plant tissues and the surrounding soil, our team can help develop management plans specifically designed for each client’s unique situation.
