Soil Testing and Nutrients Application

and Recommendations

Soil testing results might reflect the likelihood of a positive crop response to applied fertilizer. Determining the amount of fertilizer requires that the soil test be both calibrated and interpreted correctly for the specific crop.

In addition, soils show considerable variability in fields. Soil texture, soil organic matter, and soil pH, as well as nutrient levels, can vary widely as you move across a field and impact soil cation exchange capacity CEC.

This is common knowledge that has led to Variable Rate Technology (VRT). This practice was thought to reduce the overall nutrient application, which likely will help growers adjust inputs based on soil properties, increase their yield, and benefit the environment.

For optimum and integrative soil fertility, we have designed interactive Excel sheets that consider all factors, including the nutrient carry-over capacity of previous fertilizers application, making an appropriate fertilizer recommendation for your corn, soybean, and wheat. The main focus is to evaluate the long-term spatial and temporal nutrient variability associated with fertilization programs, equalize soil nutrient dynamics using soil test information conducted to determine affordable fertilizer application rates, improve crops' economic revenue, and improve soil conditions resilience.
