Soil Testing, Plant Analysis and Diagnostic Techniques (pdf)
Soil Fertility Manual Chapter 9
Murrell, T. ScottSoil testing is a valuable tool for modern production agriculture. The most benefit comes when soil test information is used with all other available information to help make recommendations for greater yields and profits. Plant analysis is usually considered as a tool to supplement soil testing, and data should be interpreted by a qualified individual. Quick field tissue tests can also be useful in some situations. While knowledge of deficiency symptoms is important, “hidden hunger” in crops can reduce yields and quality before visual signs appear. To properly diagnose fertility problems or other conditions, the entire crop environment…from root zone to tillage practices…should be considered.
