Wonderful Laboratories

Are your almond #trees getting enough boron? Boron is required for flower and nut #development. Boron deficiency can result in an increased loss of almond blossoms and almond yield. Although it can be difficult to spot, boron deficiency can be reliably detected by testing your #almond hulls. That's what we're here for! We are open to the public and our field team can come out to your ranch to sample hulls during the busy harvest season. You can also drop samples off to the lab too. Conveniently located at Lerdo and Highway 99 🛣

Nitrogen is vital for plant #growth!🌱 Nitrogen increases root strength, vegetative growth, and fruit development. This element is found naturally in soil and usually needs to be supplemented with fertilizers. To ensure that your crops are getting the most effective amount of nitrogen, it is important to know how much is already in your soil and water. We can #help you find out! Reach out for sampling and testing today! allie.cushnyr@wonderful.com
