Abstract
There is increasing interest, particularly among fertilizer company soil testing laboratories, to standardize soil testing laboratory procedures and methods of reporting and interpreting soil test results. A Task Force Committee on Soil Testing was formed in 1969 by the Fertilizer Institute to formulate standard methods of testing soils. In 1971, a new organization called “Council on Soil Testing and Plant Analysis”; will begin soliciting a membership. The Council's primary objective is “to promote uniform soil test and plant analysis methods, use, interpretation and terminology”; with both organizations working toward a common goal. Considerable progress should be made toward standardizing the soil testing and plant analysis techniques.
