Differential Sap Test Service

Know exactly what is in your plant

What is a Differential Sap Test?

A differential sap test analysis measures the concentration of nutrients in the old and new leaf sap. This is an alternative test to the leaf tissue test and uses the plant sap instead and compares older leaves to now leaves to predict on-coming deficiencies. Where leaf tests will tell the concentration of nutrients in the whole leaf, the sap test tell you exactly what the plant has available it use in it’s sap.

Differential Sap Tests are highly beneficial for all farmers wanting to grow healthier crops.

Benefits

Early Detection of Nutrient Imbalances:
Sap testing identifies nutrient deficiencies or toxicities in real time, often before visible symptoms appear. This enables proactive intervention to prevent crop stress and yield loss.
Precision in Nutrient Management:
By providing specific data on nutrient availability, sap tests allow us to tailor nutrition strategies. This reduces waste, optimizes input use, and lowers costs.
Improved Crop Health and Resilience:
Balanced nutrient levels strengthen plants’ natural defenses against pests, diseases, and environmental stressors like drought or extreme temperatures.
Higher Yields and Quality:
Addressing nutrient needs at critical growth stages ensures plants have what they need for optimal growth, leading to improved yield and produce quality.
Cost Efficiency:
By avoiding over-application of fertilizers, you can save money and reduce the environmental risks associated with nutrient runoff.
Real-Time Decision Making:
Unlike traditional tissue tests or soil tests, sap tests provide a snapshot of the plant’s current nutritional status, enabling quick, data-driven decisions.
Prevention of Nutrient Antagonisms:
The test can reveal imbalances between nutrients that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as calcium-magnesium or potassium-nitrogen antagonisms, ensuring plants get balanced nutrition.
