Leaf testing or herbage testing is to soil testing what blood tests are to a liver test... essential.
Soil tests tell us what is stored in the soil that can be used in the future – just like the liver test. Whereas leaf tests tell us what the plant is using right now - like the blood test.
Leaf tests are usually carried out in conjunction with soil tests to show up any particular deficiency or imbalance occurring in the plants, especially for Trace Elements.
Interpretation of the leaf test is more difficult than the soil test, but the greater reliability the leaf test provides, justifies the extra effort. Horticultural crops and high value livestock (stud livestock/horses, dairying) may well benefit from leaf testing also.
