Abstract/Contents:Discusses soil testing, stating that "soil testing programs have helped [sports turf managers and golf course superintendents] to discover that improving the physical structure and biological profile of the soil is the precursor to good soil and plant fertility." Explains the potential importance of carrying out a complete base saturation soil test, concluding that the test "will never lie to you...A good soil testing protocol will give you the map and directions on how to affect physics which will affet soil biology."
