 Farm Consulting, Testing and Analysis
with California Ag Solutions

Know Your Crop. Understand Your Soil. Make Better Decisions.

California Ag Solutions is your partner for sustainable, profitable farming. We offer customized help, including crop consulting, irrigation scheduling, and sap/soil/tissue analysis to make your farm more efficient because every field and acre has a diffferent story to tell. 

Our team creates practical plans to save resources, improve soil health, and meet SGMA (Sustainable Groundwater Management Act).

We go beyond just selling products and services—we provide expert guidance to help you make smart decisions on your farm or dairy.

 

No one-size-fits-all approach here. We build practical plans tailored to any farm size or type, focusing on efficiency, responsible practices, and stronger profits.

We're ready to team up with you, take a full-system view of your operation, discuss your goals, and create a plan that improves your soil, boosts your business, and benefits your operation for the long term.

Why Test?

 

Visual symptoms often appear after yield potential has already been lost. Testing allows growers to identify nutritional trends before deficiencies become visible.

 

Our integrated testing program helps you:

  • Increase nutrient use efficiency.

  • Detect hidden deficiencies and excesses

  • Fine-tune fertilizer applications

  • Improve irrigation management

  • Reduce unnecessary input costs

  • Monitor plant health throughout the season

  • Build long-term soil productivity

 

Instead of guessing, you'll have measurable data to guide every decision.

Soil Analysis

Build Better Crops from the Ground Up

 

  • Healthy crops begin with healthy soils. Our soil analysis provides insight into:

  • Soil fertility

  • pH and salinity

  • Organic matter

  • Nutrient availability

  • Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)

  • Soil structure indicators

  • Base saturation

  • Micronutrient levels

 

We use these results to develop fertility strategies that improve nutrient availability while supporting healthier soils over time.

 

Ideal for:

  • Pre-plant planning

  • New ground evaluation

  • Long-term fertility management

  • Regenerative farming programs

  • Variable rate recommendations

 

Plant Tissue Analysis

Verify What the Plant Has Taken Up

 

Traditional tissue testing measures the nutrients that have already accumulated within the leaf. It answers questions like: Is the crop receiving enough nutrients? Are nutrients reaching the plant? Are deficiencies developing? Is fertility matching crop demand?

 

Tissue testing is an excellent tool for validating fertilizer programs and monitoring nutrient status throughout the season. Best sampling occurs at consistent growth stages to compare trends year after year.

 

Sap Analysis

See What the Plant Is Using Right Now

 

Sap analysis provides a real-time snapshot of nutrients actively moving through the plant. Unlike tissue testing, which measures stored nutrients, sap testing helps identify nutrient shortages before they become visible deficiencies.

 

This allows growers to:

  • Make earlier corrections

  • Protect yield potential

  • Improve nutrient timing

  • Increase fertilizer efficiency

  • Respond during critical growth stage
     

Sap analysis is especially valuable during periods of rapid growth when crop nutrient demand changes quickly.

 

Why Combine All Three?

Each test answers a different question.

 

 

Using all three together provides the clearest picture of crop nutrition. Rather than relying on a single test, California Ag Solutions combines soil, tissue, and sap data to create complete crop nutrition recommendations.

 

Our Process

1. Sample Collection

Our team collects consistent, high-quality samples from representative areas of your fields.

 

2. Laboratory Analysis

Samples are processed through trusted laboratories using proven analytical methods.

 

3. Agronomic Interpretation

Numbers alone don't grow better crops. Our agronomists evaluate the results within the context of your field history, irrigation program, soil conditions, crop stage, and production goals.

4. Action Plan

  • You'll receive practical recommendations including:

  • Nutrient adjustments

  • Fertility timing

  • Foliar nutrition recommendations

  • Irrigation considerations

  • Soil improvement opportunities

  • Seasonal monitoring plans

 

Crops We Support

California Ag Solutions works across California specialty and row crops, including:

Almonds Pistachios Walnuts Citrus Grapes Processing Tomatoes Cotton Corn Alfalfa Onions Garlic Melons And everything in between.
