Getting the Most Reliable Information from Soil Testing

Hugh Savoy


 
ABSTRACT

Soil testing results provide a more objective basis upon which to base the "need" for lime or fertilizer materials and "how much" of these materials to apply. In no-till cotton production systems, lime may not react as quickly and soil testing again within 12 months of application may not yet show changes. Nutrient stratification occurs in long term no-till cotton systems with depth sampled and also for postassium with position sampled within the row.
