Important changes from
1 November 2026

Soils: cut-off is close of business Thursday (Wednesday if Friday is a public holiday). Soils received Friday go into the following week's run.
Plants: runs every Thursday, with an extra Tuesday run when we receive more than 25 samples. Samples must reach us by 2pm the day before the run.
Please email completed order forms to orders@nutrilab.com.au. Paper forms are still welcome, and we can help you lodge them at reception.

Results

All samples must be accompanied by an order form. This order form includes all the relevant information needed to process the sample including billing, contact and testing requirements. Each order form includes a section titled RESULTS SENT TO: (Fax/Email/Post) – the information written here will determine how we export your results. Our preferred send method is Email, but we can post if requested. Our soil, plant and water reports are sent in a Microsoft excel format to allow customers to compile data and create easy to understand spreadsheets and graphs. These are also accompanied by a PDF version of results. Our seeds are sent in PDF version only.

FAQs

  • What are the turn around times?

    At Nutrilab we understand how important turn around time is.  The price of fertiliser and windows of opportunity change daily, the information gained from analysis can help make decisions to improve farm profitability.  Each of our testing suites has different turnaround time, dependent on the process of analysis.   If the analysis is of an urgent nature, please contact the laboratory to enquire if the analysis could be expedited (there is sometimes an additional cost dependent on the inquiry).

  • What are the costs for the tests?

    Our costs can be found by downloading the below price sheet. Our prices can change due to the availability of resources, always check with us on the latest costs to the testing services.
