2018 ASHS Annual Conference

OVERVIEW: Soil testing can provide a valuable prediction of the nutrient requirement of horticultural crops. Although soil testing has been used for many years, there are still many spatial and temporal issues related to soil sampling. Laboratory analysis of the samples should be done by organizations participating in a certification program. Interpretation of the analytical results that result in fertilizer recommendations are also weak for many important horticultural crops. Demonstration of various tools for soil/media sampling, new resin-based root simulators, and a virtual tour of a modern soil testing lab will be included in the workshop.

The final abstract will be submitted upon approval of the workshop.
