Irrigation Source Water Lab Test

The foundation of any successful fertilizer program starts with knowing your water. Whether you're running a commercial greenhouse, hydroponic operation, or large-scale fertigation system, your source water chemistry directly impacts root zone pH, nutrient availability, and crop quality. This professional lab analysis gives you the complete picture — so you can build a fertilizer program that actually works.

What This Test Covers

A comprehensive screening of all key elements that impact crop nutrition:

• pH and soluble salts
• Alkalinity and total nitrogen (nitrate-N, ammoniacal-N)
• Phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur
• Micronutrients: boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc
• Harmful elements: sodium, chloride, fluoride, aluminum

What You Get

• Identifies the best controlled-release or water-soluble fertilizer program for your water chemistry
• Determines how irrigation water will impact root zone pH
• Identifies nutrient sources in your water and gaps that need supplementation
• Flags harmful salts and metals that can inhibit crop quality

How It Works

1. Purchase this test — we ship you a sample collection kit with all shipping materials and a prepaid label
2. Collect your water sample and send it directly to the ICL Specialty Fertilizers lab
3. Receive your results by email

Recommended frequency: Test new water sources before use, and re-test established sources at least twice per year.
