Soil Analysis in Service of Nursery Practice

This paper appraises the relative significance of the results obtained by analysis of various properties of nursery soils, and stresses the limitations of certain analytical data. Soil analysis may serve as a useful tool of soil fertility maintenance and the production of vigorous nursery stock only if unjustified assumptions and misinterpretations are excluded. The value of systematic soil analyses is illustrated by a concrete example presenting a record of changes in the fertility status of a nursery soil during a 7-year period of stock production.
