I am planning to run a series of nutrient tests this year where we making a number of plant teas (fresh and fermented) from a variety of medicinal herbs for use on plants. I am seeking a reliable lab that can conduct these kinds of tests (on the tea itself, not an extract per se or plant sap analysis). So, has anyone ever done this? What labs can folks recommend? Are there any pitfalls or things to look out for in choosing a lab? I am essentially asking the questions of what do we suspect, what do we know, and what can we prove. thanks in advance. PS I called Logan Lab and they do not do this type of testing. I haven't called others, but Midwest, Primus, Crop Health, and others are on the to-call list today. Also interested in plant phytochemical tests for specific compounds in specific plants.
