 Soil testing is one of the most beneficial and needed tools in determining what your soil is or is not providing to your plants. This information is essential to farmers and gardeners alike. Knowing your soil aides your correct choice in fertilizer selection and amount. Soil testing is the most cost effective decision you can make for you crops and garden. Fertilizers are a supplement for the soil to supply nutrients to plants. The level of fertilization and your plant’s response to them depends on the amount of nutrients already available in the soil. Soil testing measures these nutrients and their availability to plants. For instance, the lower amount of a nutrient present in the soil, the more growth a plant will show if the nutrient is added. On the other hand, if a nutrient is at high levels within the soil, your plant’s response will be very little with the addition of a fertilizer.
