United Soils, Inc. understands the need for timely and accurate results, and it starts with collecting meaningful samples. Our field technicians follow strict field mapping & sample collection protocol to assure the lab receives the most representative field samples possible.

Results from the soil analysis are processed with GIS data-handling software to create field and nutrition-based maps.
This approach provides the most efficient and accurate results for our customers.
USI pulls and tests samples based on our customer requests. Our website's online order form starts the process (USI-Works).

United Soils Inc. suggests following the provided guide below when obtaining
plant tissue samples for analysis. Results of the analysis will determine
whether problems in plant development are due to nutritional factors.
Precise results are possible only when carefully selected plant material is submitted for analysis. Accurate sampling requires that select parts of a
plant are collected at certain stages of plant development. A plant's nutritional
condition differs for each variety, stage of development and growing area. It is recommended to select plant tissue representative of a particular variety and growing area. Place samples in un-lined paper bags.
What Not to Sample: Diseased or dead plant material; plant tissue damaged
by insects and/or mechanical equipment; plant tissue which has been stressed
by excesses of cold, heat or moisture; seeds should NOT be sampled as they
do not reflect nutritional status of the whole plant.

United Soils, Inc. provides crop scouting-evaluation services. These services monitor producers’ crop fields from planting through crop maturation, depending on the number of scouting trips agreed upon. The goal is to provide timely, documented observations of field-crop conditions (insect, weed, disease pests) during the growing season so prudent pest management decisions can be made.
USI field reports will be delivered to the designated contact person. That representative will be responsible for utilizing the scout report data in conjunction with pest threshold information when determining pest control treatment recommendations.
