Visual Symptoms Assessment
Focus on observable plant characteristics like leaf color, size, and shape. This is the first line of investigation.
Leaf Coloration - Overall?
Describe Leaf Yellowing Pattern (if present)
Leaf Size Compared to Healthy Plants?
Leaf Necrosis Severity (0-10, 0=None, 10=Complete)
Leaf Shape Abnormalities?
Describe any unusual growth patterns or stunting.
Stem Strength?
Soil Testing & Analysis
Provides a quantitative assessment of nutrient levels in the soil. Essential for confirmation and precise correction.
pH Level
Nitrogen (N) - ppm/kg
Phosphorus (P) - ppm/kg
Potassium (K) - ppm/kg
Calcium (Ca) - ppm/kg
Magnesium (Mg) - ppm/kg
Sulfur (S) - ppm/kg
Soil Texture (Sand, Silt, Clay)
Date of Soil Test
Plant Tissue Analysis
Provides a precise measurement of nutrient content *within* the plant tissue, offering a more accurate picture of plant uptake.
Sample Information - Crop Type and Variety
Sample Information - Location of Sampled Plant(s)
Date of Tissue Sample Collection
Sample Weight (g)
N Concentration (ppm)
P Concentration (ppm)
K Concentration (ppm)
Ca Concentration (ppm)
Mg Concentration (ppm)
Laboratory Notes/Observations
Environmental Factors
Consider external conditions that can mimic nutrient deficiencies or interfere with nutrient uptake (pH, moisture, temperature).

Previous Soil Test Results and Recommendations (if available)
Previous Pest/Disease Issues?
Any unusual weather events impacting crop growth?
Crop Yield Last Season (bushels/acre or equivalent)
Notes on crop rotation history
Differential Diagnosis
Ruling out other causes of similar symptoms, such as pests, diseases, or herbicide damage.
Suspected Pest Infestation?
Evidence of Disease?
Describe any observed pest damage (e.g., chewing, stippling, webbing)
Describe any observed disease symptoms (e.g., spots, lesions, wilting)
Recent Herbicide Application?
Days since last herbicide application (if applicable)
Describe any unusual environmental factors (e.g., drought, flooding, extreme temperatures)
Upload photos of affected plants (for visual comparison)
