IPL's new decision support system (Nutrient Advantage Advice) uses SIF forms (Sample Information Forms). There are currently 3 types of SIF's available:
1. SOIL SIF (use this form for any soil sample submission except deep soil Nitrogen analysis)
- To fit 3 samples from the same industry type on the one form, use the following industry specific forms: PASTURE SOIL ONLY CROPPING SOIL ONLY HORTICULTURE SOIL ONLY
2. TISSUES SIF (use this form for any tissue sample submission)
3. DEEP SOIL NITROGEN SIF (use this form for deep-soil Nitrogen testing)
If SIF forms are unavailable on the website, please call the Nutrient Advantage Laboratory Customer Service on 03 9731 3100.
