The services provided by Spectron Laboratories are founded upon three fundamental principles.  They are analytical, diagnostic and corrective.

We believe the first step to address any of the problematic conditions related to turf production is analysis. This process is usually performed at the lab. We have the ability to perform analyses for the most of the challenges related to turf production.

 Most problems related to poor turf quality can be traced to at least one of the following areas.

• Physical properties of the soil.
• Hydraulic properties of the soil.
• Water quality issues.
• Nutrient quantities or imbalances of the soils.
• Nutritional balances and deficiencies found within the plant tissue.
• Opportunistic organisms, i.e. fungi, nematodes, disease, etc.

After the analytical process is completed the diagnostic process can begin. This process involves reviewing all of the factors that have been discovered during the analytical process.

Diagnostics rely heavily upon trends. Most of the historical information about the maintenance and care of the golf course is held in the memories of the superintendent and the staff as well as other associates such as pro staff and the members.

This information as well as the information discovered during the analytical stage will build the foundation for the third step of the process, which is the corrective. In this step, a plan is developed to determine what practices, products and procedures need to be continued, changed and/or implemented to achieve the desired outcome.
