Help Deciphering Soil Samples

[Thomasc19]

I just used 2 Whitetail Institute soil sample kits I had laying around for this year's fall foodplots

My browse pressure is really high as these are the only 2 foodplots within miles of me so the mix I'm planting is going to be:




Soil Results for Back Field:




Soil Results for Horse Field:




Both plots have been in clover, and neither test recommended nitrogen so I believe they should be good for that

Any recommendations on how much 0-20-20 and lyme or anything else I should do?

Definitely need lime. Clemson has a handy calculator.

Clemson Lime Rate Calculator

Calculate the proper amount of lime to apply for agricultural soil test results and target pH.

precisionag.sites.clemson.edu

For a target pH of 6.5 @5" depth/tillage, assuming 100% calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE)
725 lbs/acre for the horse field
880 for the back field

To be safe, I'd go about 1000 lbs/acre. Fertilizer will lower pH.

Yep.

Half ton rate/acre of calcitic lime, and throw in 200 lbs/ac of gypsum. That blend doesn't need any P or K.
