INDIVIDUAL TEXTURE TEST KITS
In addition to the
combination outfits for agricultural and
turf soils, a selection of single parameter test kits
is available for soil nutrients that may be of particular
interest or a problem to the grower.
All OMEGA™ soil test kits measure the portion of soil
nutrients available for the plant to use. Since extraction
not complete, the amount that is measured is relative and
is dependent on the extraction procedure. Pounds per
acre represents the number of pounds of soil in an acre
down to the depth of 6-7 inches, and is = 2,000,000 lb.
Conversion from pounds per acre to parts
per million is accomplished with the following
formulas:
ppm x 2 = lb/acre
lb/acre x 0.5 = ppm
A number of variables must be considered when
interpreting soil test results in addition to the values
obtained. These variables include the composition of the
soil, drainage, climate, previous fertilizer programs, and
the type of plant to be grown. Samples must also be truly
representative of the area being studied and must be
carefully selected.
TEXTURE
The overall texture of a soil affects growth in the root zone, which determines above-ground growth,
and is determined by the proportions of sand, silt, and clay present.
