Soil testing is the most accurate way to determine lime and nutrient needs. Soil testing is also useful for identifying contaminated sites (e.g., elevated levels of lead). The results provided on your soil test report reflect the properties of the sample you submitted and the testing
Soil test results list the soil test concentration for specific parameters along with an interpretation value (low, optimum, and high) and a recommendation. This Spotlight will help explain the meaning of each soil test parameter, what the optimum values are for each parameter, and general recommendations based on the soil test values.
For each test, the document describes what is measured, recommends how and when to test, indicates levels at which test results suggest deficiencies or excessive concentrations, and suggests solutions to correct soil imbalances.
