How to Prepare Your Samples

- Samples should be approximately 6" in diameter across with three inches of soil.

- It's important that the sample include both affected and healthy turf, so collect at the outer margin of the affected area.

- if you plan to ship the sample mail or parcel service, wrap it in aluminum foil (not in plastic).

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 lab manager Kurt Hockemeyer at hockemeyer@wisc.edu.

Thank you for your business.
