Nutrient Deficiency Calculator
Assess soil nutrient status and identify deficiency or excess of N, P, K, pH and organic matter.
How to Use the Nutrient Deficiency Calculator
- Enter N, P, K levels from your soil test results.
- Enter pH and organic matter content.
- Click Calculate to get the assessment.
- Use the results to plan fertilizer application.

Formula
Assessment by threshold values: N: low <20, high >60 mg/kg; P: low <15, high >50; K: low <100, high >300; pH: low <6.0, high >7.5; OM: low <2%, high >5%.
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.
