SOIL TESTING

Recommendations

The recommendations on the soil test report are made for a three-year sequence of crops. These recommendations are made based on the soil test results and on the information you provided such as crop to be grown, expected yield, crop rotation and plow depth. Typical nutrient recommendations and guidelines for changing them for a different crop and/or yield level are given in Table 1.2-5. Complete recommendations for all agronomic crops can be found on the Penn State Agricultural Analytical Services Laboratory Web site at http://www.aasl.psu.edu/Agro%20HdBk.html
