Economic Comparison of N, P, & K Recommendations from University & Private Soil Test Labs

D.J. Dunn1, A. Phillips2, and W.E. Stevens1. (1) University of Missouri-Delta Center, P.O. Box 160, Portageville, MO 63783, (2) University of Missouri, Box 160, Portageville, MO 63873

This investigation is being conducted on three different soil typos.  A composite soil sample was collected from each soil type.  This sample was dried and ground.  A sub-sample of each was then supplied to five different labs (two University & three private).  A NPK recommendation for two-bale cotton was requested.  Input costs, net and total returns to producers are being compared.
