TPSL® Soil Test for Pasture/Forage

Optimize Your Pasture for High Productivity, Animal Health, and Soil Longevity

Healthy Soil = Productive Forage = Better Herd Performance

Pasture and forage systems demand more than just basic fertility—they require sustainable nutrient cycling, balanced micronutrients, and long-term soil health to deliver consistent yields and nutritional quality year after year. Our TPSL Plant Natural® Soil Test for Pasture & Forage is built specifically for grazing operations, hay fields, and rotational pasture systems that must perform under pressure.

This is more than a basic soil test—it’s a comprehensive pasture productivity tool designed to help you grow healthier, more nutrient-dense forage for your herd.

What’s Included in Your Analysis

Soil Properties

• Texture – Affects compaction, water holding, and root penetration
• pH – Influences nutrient availability and microbial activity
• Carbonates (CO₃) – Excess levels can lock up nutrients and raise pH
• Electrical Conductivity (EC) – Salinity check to protect forage crops

Macronutrients

• Nitrate-Nitrogen (NO₃-N) – Snapshot of plant-available nitrogen for leafy growth
• Phosphate (P₂O₅) – Essential for early root development and grazing recovery
• Potassium (H₂O & CO₂ extractable) – Critical for water regulation and forage quality
• Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium (H₂O & CO₂ extractable) – Influence palatability, plant resilience, and mineral uptake by livestock

Micronutrients & Trace Elements

• Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), Boron (B) – Support plant enzyme function, protein synthesis, and forage quality
• Cobalt (Co), Molybdenum (Mo), Selenium (Se) – Essential for livestock health, supporting rumen function, metabolism, and immune systems. These are critical for pastures intended for grazing animals.

Soil Ratios

• Na:Ca and Na:Mg Ratios – Indicate risks of soil compaction, crusting, or structural decline, especially important in high-traffic pastures

Your Report Includes

• 2-Page Color-Coded Lab Report
  Easy-to-interpret results, with nutrient levels highlighted by severity
• Pasture-Specific Fertilizer Recommendations
  Tailored to forage systems like Bermuda, brome, fescue, clover mixes, or native range
• Plant Nutrient Removal Rates
  Estimates based on typical forage uptake, helping you replace what your herd removes
• Neutral, Practical Fertilizer Guidelines
  Designed to improve productivity without over-applying costly inputs

Sample Requirements & Turnaround

• Minimum Sample Size: 3–4 cups of soil
• Required Sample Depth: 0–12 inches (topsoil only)
• Turnaround Time: 5–7 business days after sample receipt
