    Lancrop - ADAS Index System

    Uploaded by

    Hernando Montenegro
    This document provides an ADAS index system for soil analysis. [1] The index scales soil test results for phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, nitrate-nitrogen, and electrical conductivity into index values from 0 to 9. [2] Higher index values indicate higher nutrient levels or conductivity in the soil. [3] The document notes that nitrogen recommendations should consider previous cropping and the current crop in addition to soil analysis results.

    Nitrogen recommendations should not be based on the soil analysis alone


    Previous cropping and crop should also be taken into consideration.
    To be most effective, analysis should be carried out just before fertilizer application.
