Product Detail

This analysis will reveal the heavy metal status of leaf tissue (grass leaves). This test can be used in isolation to reveal the level of heavy metals in grass or it can be used as a follow up test once a heavy metal soil test has revealed the presence of soil borne heavy metal contamination.

The analysis will report on levels of:

  • Lead (Pb)
  • Nickel (Ni)
  • Arsenic (As)
  • Cadmium (Cd)
  • Chromium (Cr)
  • Mercury (Hg)
  • Copper (Cu)
  • Zn (Zn)

How does a leaf tissue test work?

  • On placing your order we will send over a sample bag and addressed pre-paid envelope and laboratory form.
  • Fill the small sample bag to capacity with grass leaves (not stalks) Take a number of samples from different areas of your field, until the bag is completely full.
  • To optimise sample freshness, post back on the same day of sampling and ideally not on a Friday as samples will not be processed over a weekend.
  • Results are generally available in around 10 working days after posting to the laboratory.
  • If you would like your results interpreted by one of our FACTS qualified technical advisors, please get in touch via email or phone (0330 165 5568) to request this.

Note: Please include the white A5 sheet with your sample, the invoice is for your records. Unfortunately without the white A5 sheet, the laboratory cannot process your analysis.

* Always follow the Usage guide and Aftercare advice
  • Try to take samples from as many points in the field to be analysed.
  • Walking in a W shape will give a good overall analysis of the area.
  • Make sure that you fill the bag until it's rammed full - if you don't have enough leaves the laboratory will not be able to run the full tests.
  • Do not sample any leaves within 3 - 5 days after being sprayed with pesticides or foliar nutrients.

After using Grass Leaf Tissue Analysis for Heavy Metals, follow all label recommendations, clean equipment thoroughly, and monitor the treated area to ensure the product has performed as expected. Do not sample any soil within 3 - 5 days after being sprayed with pesticides or foliar nutrients.

What is Leaf Tissue Heavy Metal Soil Analysis used for?
This analysis measures heavy metal levels in grass leaves and provides accurate, lab-tested results for managing turf or grazing areas safely.
How does a soil test work?
Once you place your order we send a sample bag and prepaid envelope, you take small samples from across your plot until the bag is half full, post it to the laboratory for analysis and our FACTS qualified advisors then interpret the results and create a tailored fertiliser plan, usually within around ten working days.
When is the best time to take a soil sample?
The best time depends on what you are testing for, although nutrient samples are usually taken in autumn or early spring, pH and salinity can be checked whenever the ground is not frozen and suspected contamination should be sampled as soon as it is identified.
