Steel, who points out that latest scientific research can take the guesswork out of fertilizer applications. soil tests, By using records of past cropping practices, crop yields, plus other newest techniques, farming farmers can now apply fertilizer "by prescription" recomfor inmendations tailor-mad- e dividual farmers' specific soil and crop needs, he said. "Soil fertility research underscores again and again the d soil importance of testing programs," Dr. Lipps said. "While general fertilizer recommendations can be helpful as guides, only by testing can a farmer find out the true fertility level of his own soil its strengths, its deficiencies and particular needs."
