Subject: RE: strange soil test results


How do the rest of the numbers compare?  Does the CEC look consistent?  Do the P & K levels look within reasonable range?

From what I see, P - in particular - should not change significantly from year to year.

If other numbers seem bizarre, I would definitely call it to the attention of the lab, let them know what kinds of numbers this field has shown in the past.

 

I had a situation this fall, where I got results back, and 1 field looked bizarre.  I mean really bizarre.  pH looked okay, but the rest did not. 
I e-mailed the lab manager, called attention to the sample in question.  The lab manager took one look at the results and said "that looks like it got doube-diluted."  And the lab ran it again - no charge.   Apparently, labs can make mistakes too.  After all, those labs are run by humans.    :)

I would contact the lab with your concern, and see if they would run it again.  At least the pH, if the rest looks reasonable.
