assesses the nutrient status of solution water, irrigation water, and agricul-

tural, industrial and municipal wastes to determine their suitability for use

in agricultural production. These three testing services offer recommenda-

Field Services Section, through the efforts of regional agronomists, helps

growers solve problems and implement recommendations in cost-effective

and environmentally sound ways.
