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
