Look for Lime Recommendations and N-P-K Fertilizer Recommendations. If lime is needed, application at the indicated rate will raise soil pH to the optimal level for the plant you specified. Common target pH values are as follows: 5.0 for azalea, canVIia, rhododendron and mt. laurel; 5.5 for centipedegrass; 6.0 for other lawn grasses, shrubbery, and; flowering plants; and 6.5 for vegetable gardens. N-P-K Recommendations are based on the nitrogen (N) needs of the plants being grown and the soil test results for phosphorus (P-1) and potassium (K-1); a 50 to 70 index for either is optimum. If the exact fertilizer cannot be found, find the closest match and adjust the rate accordingly. Refer to "Understanding the Soil Report" (last page of this report) for additional explanation and links to helpful information. Zinc and/or copper levels are abnormally high (indices > 2000) in some samples. Zinc and copper are necessary nutrients for proper plant growth but can be toxic to plants at certain levels. If any type of waste is being used as a soil amendment, discontinue its use or have it analyzed by our Plant/ Waste/Solution lab since it may be a source of metals. High copper and zinc can be related to application of pesticides to control diseases. High zinc levels -may also be related to fertilization of pecan trees. Zinc can also be associated with sampling using tools that are galvanized. Hic h zinc can also be associated with old building with tin roofs old sites or water coming from gutters stems.

Guilford/Matt Barnes Page 2 of 2 Understanding the Soil Report Lime Application of lime at the recommended rate will raise soil pH to the optimum range. Do not apply too much lime. When soil pH becomes too high, lowering it is very difficult. Often, the best solution then is to choose plants that can tolerate a high pH. Choosing dolomitic lime can be advantageous because it contains the nutrients calcium and magnesium. Pelleted lime is easier to spread uniformly than powdered lime. Lime can be applied at any time of year, but because it reacts slowly, it is best to apply it several months before a new planting. Mixing it into the soil will speed the reaction time. Lime applied to the soil surface takes much longer to correct soil pH. A surface application should not exceed 60 lb per 1,000 sq ft. If a soil report recommends more than this, apply 60 lb per 1,000 sq initially and the rest in similar increments every 6-9 months until the full rate is applied. Fertilizer Soil tests do not measure nitrogen (N) since it is very unstable in soils; the N recommendations provided on the soil report are base on plant needs. If soil -test P-1 and K-1 values are adequate (>50), only nitrogen is recommended- Group D below. A mixed (N-P-K) fertilizer is recommended if P-1 and K-1 values are less than optimum- Groups A - C below. Although a specific fertilizer grade may be recommended (e.g., 5-10-10), othe equivalent options are likely to be available (e.g., any fertilizer in Group A from Table 1). Tips on Fertilizer Application To determine how much fertilizer to buy, estimate (in feet) the length (L) and width (W) of the area to be treated: L x W = sq ft. Square off curves to make estimates easier. If the recommendation is 20 lb per 1,000 sq ft and your area is 5,000 sq ft, then you need 100 lb (20 X 5) for your 5,000-sq-ft area. Calibrate your spreader according to manufacturer settings. Apply half the total rate in one direction; apply the rest at a 90° angl This cross -hair pattern provides a more uniform application. After application, sweep up any fertilizer on hard surfaces and apply to fertilized areas so rainfall does not carry fertilizer to a sto drain. . Table 1.
