Domande Frequenti

How do I interpret the results?
'Low' means deficiency — fertilization is needed. 'Adequate' is the norm. 'High' means excess, which can cause toxicity.
What units should I use for nutrients?
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are entered in mg/kg (or ppm), as in standard agrochemical analyses.
Is a soil test required?
Yes, for accurate results use data from a laboratory soil analysis.
