"On this episode of The Agronomists, host Lyndsey Smith is joined by Jack Legg of SGS Canada Inc., and Tryston Beyrer of Mosaic to discuss interpreting soil test results, building soil nutrient levels vs maintaining vs drawing down, how to get the most from soil test analysis, and the all-important return of fertilizer investment. The Agronomists is brought to you by MNP, Ruminating with RealAg and Canola School."

Interpreting soil test results enables targeted nutrient management and more accurate fertilizer decisions. Soil nutrient strategies include building levels to correct deficiencies, maintaining sufficiency for consistent yield, or drawing down reserves when economic conditions warrant. Getting the most from soil test analysis requires correct sampling protocols, understanding laboratory methods and interpretations, accounting for field variability, and connecting soil levels to crop response expectations. Evaluating fertilizer investment uses expected yield response, input costs, and long-term soil fertility objectives to determine economic returns. Variable-rate application, staged nutrient buildup, and regular monitoring optimize both agronomic and financial outcomes.
