| Question: | "If nitrogen cannot be tested for accuracy, how can phosphorus and potassium be so tested? They're all elements." |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Phosphorus and potassium are generally present in the soil in a different state than is nitrogen. A large part of the nitrogen in a soil is present in an organic form, whereas in most soils phosphorus and potassium are present in mineral form. Phosphorus and potassium do not depend completely on a process of bacterial activity to become available; therefore, the phosphorus and potassium status of a soil does not change nearly so rapidly as does nitrogen." |
