I could use some help understanding what this means.I think the end result is basically telling me that I have too much of some nutrients. Chart indicates "ABOVE OPTIMUM RANGE" on calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium.

Calcium= 3114 lbs/acre
Magnesium = 500 lbs per acre
Phosphorous = 33 lbs /acre
Potassium = 527 lbs/ acre

Boron - ppm=0.50
copper- ppm=0.30
iron- ppm=3.00
manganese- ppm=6.70
zinc- ppm=1.20
aliminum- ppm=12

soil PH- 7.0

Limestone recommendations - apply no limestone

Fertilizer- Soil test levels for phosphorous and potassium are above optimum. Before planting incorporate 2 lbs nitrogen per 1000 sq feet.

Soil testure = sandy loam
organic matter= medium
