Trials Soil
Testing Now Available
A basic soil test is
an excellent way to measure soil fertility. It is also an inexpensive
way to help maintain good plant health and maximize productivity. The
Coshocton County Extension Office is once again offering soil testing
for the following:
The Extension office
will mail all submitted soil samples to Spectrum Analytic, Inc., a
comprehensive testing lab in Washington Court House. Basic soil test
packages cost $15 each. More detailed tests are available for an
additional charge. A basic soil test
package includes a summary of soil pH, buffer pH, organic matter,
available phosphorus, exchangeable potassium, calcium, magnesium,
cation exchange capacity, and percent base saturation of cation
elements. All soil tests will also provide an outline of
recommendations for reaching desired yields. It is best to test
soils after harvest in the fall or in the spring. When testing soil
from year to year, it is best to collect samples at the same time (say
every October or every April) to avoid extreme changes in soil-test
information. Connections to Web Sites The Ohio State University Related Links
