Greenhouse (Soilless) Media Testing 

This program is designed as a management tool for greenhouse operators using soilless growth media for plant production. Samples are analyzed for pH, nitrate-nitrogen, ammonium-nitrogen, soluble salts, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, boron, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc using the saturated media extract method with DTPA. The final report includes the analytical results along with an interpretation based on the crop specified.

Soilless media kits may be purchased from the county offices of the Penn State Cooperative Extension.

If you have any questions on the soilless media testing program, please contact the laboratory.
