UH Hilo Analytical Lab
Soil Sample Submission Form

The lab is located at Lanikaula St. side of the UH Hilo Campus across from the Church of the Holy Cross, Room 109 of the Marine Science Building.
Soil and fertilizer recommendations are not offered. The lab recommends to reach out to an agriculture extension agent for data interpretation.

Soils can be submitted in sandwich sized ziploc bags for each sample. We will need about a cup of soil for analyses taken from about 4-6 inches in depth of your area of interest. Please remove rocks larger than the size of your thumb. Plant tissue samples should be a few grams of tissue and free of moisture.

Please call ahead for an appointment to drop off your sample.
