Precision Soil Testing Trends in Zones vs. Total Samples

Compare soil testing data from zone/grid samples to total composite samples for nitrate, nutrients, pH, and salts. Explore variability between fields post-wheat and post-fallow in Montana. Uncover insights on phosphorus, potassium, zinc, sulfur, and more. Includes data from AGVISE Laboratories and Northwood laboratory from 1997 to 2013.
