Nebraska soil-test fertilizer recommendations

Zone Forge reads your Nebraska soil test in Nebraska's own calibrated language — the critical levels and rate logic come straight from UNL EC117 / EC155 / G859 — Nebraska nutrient recommendations (lime in separate nebraska_g1504), not a national average.

Critical soil-test levels

  • P: critical 20 ppm (Bray-1 P)
  • K: critical 125 ppm (ammonium acetate exchangeable K)

Per UNL EC117 / EC155 / G859 — Nebraska nutrient recommendations (lime in separate nebraska_g1504) — below the critical level, a yield response to the added nutrient is expected.
