Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "the only way to accurately determine how much and what analysis of fertilizer to use is to take a soil sample and have it tested at an accredited soil testing laboratory." Outlines potential processes for taking a soil sample and determining soil texture. Discusses soil chemistry; soil pH; electrical conductivity in soil; soil structure/profile; and soil moisture, stating that "turf grows best (availability of nutrients, susceptibility to disease) at a pH between 6.5 and 7.5, so if you can monitor your soil pH, you may be able to anticipate problems." |
