We have stated that soil analysis should be your baseline & starting point for developing a good nutrition plan for your crops.  Is this still the case?  Are there better ways to determine what the plant needs to maximize its genetic potential?  Are soil tests accurate? What about spatial variability? Do they cost too much money? Are tissue/petiole tests better? In this part 1 of a series of episodes focused on soil analysis, Dr. Rob Mikkelsen and Markus Braaten discuss these questions and if and how soil analysis should be integrated into your workflow. As we work through these topics, we would love to hear from YOU.  If you have comments or questions, please submit them by clicking HERE or emailing [email protected].
