The issue
Soil testing is becoming increasingly important as a soil fertility and fertiliser management tool. Although soil tests alone do not provide a complete answer as to what fertiliser rate and type to apply, they do however provide the basis for making decisions about a fertiliser program.

The data represented in this farmtalk are farm soil results that have been generated from an extension program in the Lower Murray Darling (LMD) catchment.
