Soil classification and Nutrient testing
Soil analysis is done to determine the chemical, physical or biological characteristics of a soil. Possibly the most widely conducted soil tests are those performed to estimate the plant-available concentrations of nutrients in order to provide fertilizer recommendations in agriculture.
Dirty Worm Soil Works can perform a soil test to determine nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as the acidity or pH level and electrical conductivity (EC).
Soil testing is a crucial step in ensuring plants’ optimal growth and health. By taking care of your soil, you can ensure your plants and crops’ long-term health and productivity.
The Benefits of Soil Testing
Understanding Your Soil Composition
Soil is composed of various materials, including sand, silt, clay, and organic matter. The proportion of each material determines the soil’s texture, which can affect water retention and nutrient availability.
Identifying Soil Nutrient Deficiencies
Soil testing can identify nutrient deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in your soil. Commonly tested nutrients include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.
