Grape Specific Testing

Joe Pedroza • September 15, 2020

TPS Lab is getting a lot of soil samples recently from vineyards of all sizes and ambition.

TPS Lab has stirred up a lot of interest with Viticulturists with the recent introduction of our grape specific soil test and grape specific plant test, addressing the special nutritional and testing requirements of grapes.


These tests are dramatically more comprehensive than those offered by competing labs. Along with our proprietary method of CO2 extraction for testing, what has historically set us apart from most other labs is our recommendations supplied as a part of each report. We are a consulting laboratory, as well as an analytical one - dealing only with agronomic matters.


Our Senior Analyst Noel Garcia has visited with many field consultants, farmers of various crops - and most especially - vineyards around Lubbock and West Texas. He will be especially interested in visiting with growers of all kinds who are having problems or are dissatisfied with the performance of their crops. We are told that Lubbock will be the new grape capital of Texas within the next five years. We endeavor to have a key role in seeing that happen.


We can guide you from pre-plant to bottling - regardless of where your vineyard is located, in Texas or abroad.

No matter what your plant! No matter where your soil!
