The UF/IFAS Soil Testing Lab can test for pH, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and manganese in soils, all essential nutrients for optimal plant growth. For more information about UF/IFAS soil tests, please visit https://soilslab.ifas.ufl.edu/ESTL%20Tests.asp.
If you need a soil test for metals, herbicides, or other chemicals non-essential to plant growth, please contact one of the private labs listed below.
