Area Soil Testing Behind in Fertility Program
The fall crop fertility plan requires early soil sampling to determine fertilizer needs. Only 350 soil samples were tested in the past year (July 1 to June 30), far below the average annual testing level.
Bozworth Report On Soil Sampling And Lawn Watering Tips
The Bozworth Report advises that wet soil conditions hinder testing and stresses good sampling to reflect field fertility. It recommends 20 to 30 cores, avoiding non representative spots, and mixing samples for testing. Lime guidance and lime application rates are discussed. Lawn watering advice suggests 1.5 to 2 inches every 10 days, watering mornings, and using cans to measure soil moisture, promoting deep root growth.
