| Abstract/Contents: | Provides questions and answers concerning water-based extraction methods for turf soils. Recent articles have described the saturated paste extraction method of testing soil fertility, claming that "water based extraction procedures are inferior to other extraction methods in assessing soil fertility." Questions discussed include the usefulness of mineral nutrients extracted by a saturated paste, ease of interpretation of the water-based extraction, expected nutrient levels, importance of soluble ions, results of soluble nutrients concentration, problems concerning fertilization, phosphorus levels for "other" grasses, issues with high bicarbonate levels, and why water-based extraction tests should be used on soils. States that data has not been collected correlating water extractable nutrient levels with turfgrass performance, and careful consideration should be made "before making fertilizer applications based on soil test data." |
