Soil Testing
The Basics
The major objective of soil analysis is to inventory the soil's nutrient reserves and chemical composition. Since insufficiencies of essential elements can limit crop yields, this information is critical to determining what, if any, additions of fertilizer or lime are justified to produce maximum economic yields. Backed up by chemistry and research, soil analysis should be a part of ever producer's arsenal to control costs, maximize returns, and protect the environment.
