Crop
and Analysis Codes for Landscape & Vegetable Garden Test Information
Sheet
(Use
Form SL-136)
This
test conducts two types of analyses.
Test
A : pH and Lime Requirement Test will give the information about Soil
pH and Lime Requirement.
Note
: This test is especially for you if you Use only complete
fertilizers (such as 16-4-8), follow the generic fertilizer
recommendations in IFAS landscape and vegetable garden publications,
or need only the soil pH test.
Test
B : Soil Fertility Test will give information about Soil pH, Lime Requirement,
P, K, Ca, and Mg.
Note
: Test B will enable you to tailor use of single-element
fertilizers based on existing soil fertility status. However,
if you use a complete fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, the extra tests
for extractable P, K, Mg, and Ca are of little value.
Following
is a list of crops with corresponding crop codes for which the above tests
A & B will be conducted.
