results can be used advantageously for soil fertility evaluation and fertilizer recommendation. The whole idea of Soil Testing is based on the efficient use of fertilizer and adopting better farming practices. Since the efficient use of fertilizers is directly related to the knowledge about what nutrients, the soil lacks.

Soil Analysis Kit (Chemical) Significance of analysis of soil components NITROGEN - Nitrogen forms new cells and is essential to total plant development. A shortage of nitrogen halts plant growth and cell production. Symptoms of nitrogen deficiency are a yellowish brown color along the veins and tips of leaves, stunted growth of the plant or paleness in color on older leaves. Too much nitrogen can cause tall, spindly plants that easily topple over and nitrate poisoning (look for a strong red tint to the leaves).
maturity of the plant.
A symptom of phosphorus
deficiency is spindly plants with purple streaks in the stems. Since phosphorus moves very slowly in the soil, it is essential to have it available during early plant development. Good sources for phosphorus include: bone meal, rock phosphate and colloidal phosphate. Incorporating organic matter (compost) into the soil makes the phosphorus present more readily available to the plants.
Nitrogen is also essential to the compost pile, as it aids in
