Replacing SOIL TESTINGReplacing SOIL TESTING

In-Season Soil TestingIn-Season Soil Testing Use of an in-season soil test for N availability in corn

PSNT (0-30cm), Magdoff et al. (1984). Separating nitrate test calibration data based on yield

potential of soils may improve PSNT and PPNT for making N recommendations in corn, when NO3 test values are in the N responsive region (Bundy and Andraski, 1995)

No soil test accurately predicted either relative grain yield or N-supplying capacity (Fox et al., 1993).

Relative grain yield vs PSNT relationship was better with NO3 and NH4 than with NO3 alone (Meisinger et al., 1992)

Sufficiency

Levels of available nutrients range in a group of soils from insufficient to sufficient for optimum plant growth

Amounts of nutrients removed by suitable extractants will be inversely proportional to yield increases from added nutrients

Calibrations have been made for changing the levels of available nutrients in the soil by adding fertilizer

PhosphorusPhosphorus Fluoresce= reemit light energy absorbed as light but of a

longer wavelength and of lower energy Fluorescence spectrum is characteristic of the pigment,

so it is possible to tell which pigment is fluorescing (which one was activated)

Low P nutrition results in increased chlorophyll fluorescence, reduced photosynthetic rate, increased starch and sucrose in leaves

If the reactions of photosynthesis are blocked (chemical, cold, etc.) fluorescence will occur in-vivo because the energy absorbed cannot be used.
