AGR-106

Determining the Quality of Aglime: Using Relative Neutralizing Values

3/13/2023 (revised)
Authors: Lloyd Murdock, Monroe Rasnake, Greg Schwab, Bill Thom

Most Kentucky soils need to have lime applied in order to keep the pH in the optimum range for growing crops. Lime applications should always be based on a good soil test that takes into account the existing pH and the buffering capacity of the soil. However, even when all this is done and lime is applied as recommended, the desired change in soil pH may not occur. The problem may be due to the use of low quality lime.

AGR-16

Taking Soil Test Samples

3/13/2023 (revised)
Authors: Lloyd Murdock, Greg Schwab, Frank Sikora, Bill Thom

The most important part of making fertilizer recommendations is collecting a good, representative soil sample. Soil test results and fertilizer recommendations are based solely on the few ounces of soil submitted to the laboratory for analysis. These few ounces can represent several million pounds of soil in the field. If this sample does not reflect actual soil conditions, the results can be misleading and lead to costly over- or under-fertilization. It is necessary to make sure that the soil sample sent to the laboratory accurately represents the area sampled.
