Wallace Laboratories provides consulting on soil, fertility, plant physiology, water quality, land restoration, salinity, toxicity, trace minerals, composts, amendments, soil conditioners and most related areas to plant growth, establishment of vegetation, erosion control and plant propagation.

The lab is located in Los Angels County adjacent to LAX. Services are provided world-wide. The lab is equipped with simultaneous optical emission spectrophotometers, atomic adsorption, carbon/nitrogen/hydrogen/sulfur/oxygen instrument, microwave digester, and related instruments. It services federal, state, local, foreign governments, corporate and individuals.   

The principals are:  

Arthur Wallace, Ph.D. Rutgers University,  1949 (soils and plant nutrition)

Garn A. Wallace, Ph.D. University of California,  Los Angeles,  1972 (biochemistry)
