Oklahoma soil-test fertilizer recommendations

Zone Forge reads your Oklahoma soil test in Oklahoma's own calibrated language — the critical levels and rate logic come straight from Oklahoma — OSU SWFAL (PSS-2225) combined lime + nutrient source, not a national average. Lime has its own live calculator for Oklahoma with method-specific lab inputs.

Critical soil-test levels

  • P: critical 32.5 ppm (Mehlich-3 STI)
  • K: critical 125 ppm (Mehlich-3 STI)
