Distribution of results will depend on the analysis because some analyses take longer than others. Approximately, an analysis will take two weeks. Due to high activity during the Louisiana sugarcane grinding season (Oct to Dec) this could be longer.
If you need rapid results then please contact Chardcie Verret by telephone or email.
Once you have contacted us a quote for the analyses will be issued. Upon distribution of results you will have two weeks for payment. All payments must be paid by check and the check must be paid out to the LSU AgCenter. Please send your payment and associated invoice to:
