Decoding Advanced Soil Tests: Understanding Micronutrients, Cation Exchange Capacity, and Biological Activity

Soil testing is an essential tool for anyone looking to optimize crop production, improve plant health, or restore soil fertility. While basic soil tests measure pH, macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), and organic matter, advanced soil testing provides deeper insights into micronutrient levels, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and biological activity. Understanding …
