Fert$mart Chapter 9 - Interpreting soil and tissue tests

Soil and plant tissue tests help farmers and service providers to make more informed, cost-effective fertiliser decisions. Soil tests are a valuable tool for identifying the macronutrient status of farm soils, and to provide information for soil amendments to address issues such as sodicity and acidity. Plant tissue testing is the preferred method for diagnosing trace element toxicities, deficiencies, and imbalances for plants and as an aid to determine some animal health issues.
