How to Prepare Your Samples

Samples should be:
- Collected at the interface of the affected and unaffected turfgrass.
- Approximately 6" in diameter (cup cutter size) and taken deep enough to include the plant's root mass.
- Wrapped in aluminum foil and shipped immediately to avoid contamination and decay.

If you enclose paperwork, please put it in a plastic bag so the moisture from the sample won't harm the paper.

If you have questions about the sample submission process, please contact the lab.

Thank you for your business.
