How to find appropriate soil nutrient levels?

See this link it gives all data a farmer may need from free downloads, its not easy to understand though look for `Good Nutient Management Guidance' PDF. http://www.defra.gov.uk/food-farm/land-manage/nutr...

Hello Will

I assume you had a soil test done since you have analysis results. When you sent it in, you should have told them what you were planning to grow. If you put vegetable garden they would give you one application rate. If you said blueberries, they would give you another. You really don't need a separate application rate for each vegetable. Only the high Ph and low Ph ones.I have never seen a soil test that did not include recommended fertilizer and Ph adjustment application rates.

It isn't possible from your post to determine if you are wanting to go organic or not. If you are not, then follow the guidelines of your soil test. If you are, you just need the fertilizer ratio of the organic fertilizer you are going to use and how much to apply.

Here is a link that will tell you all you need to know about that.

Hope this helps

You don't customize to each home garden crop, you can't micromanage that precisely. If you are a farmer and growing one crop, yes, you can be more precise.

Remember nutrients in total are like the staves of a barrel, if one is shorter than the others, that will be the limiting factor on barrel capacity.......so don't ignore the nutrients......better yet, make a healthy soil rich in organic matter, well drained and the nutrient levels will pretty much maximize themselves.
