description This guide is provided to assist vegetable growers, UF/IFAS Extension personnel, and consultants in conducting a meaningful plant tissue testing program. Guidelines are provided for collecting samples, proper handling of the sample, and choosing an analytical lab. Information is also presented on basic plant nutrition so that the reader understands the nutrient requirements of each vegetable crop and the process of identifying nutrient deficiencies. The final section of the guide presents the deficiency, sufficiency, and toxicity ranges for plant nutrient concentrations. This is the interpretation portion. Values presented in the tables have been drawn from research from many areas of the country with emphasis on research conducted in Florida. Missing values in the tables indicate areas of research need. The final section of the guide also presents recommendations for nutrient deficiency correction. Originally published January 1991 and revised February 2004 and October 2012. This version November 2022 includes updates to crop data for carrots.
