The annual meeting of the NCERA 13 was held February 24 in Bettendorf, Iowa. The 19th Soil-Plant Analysts Workshop organized by NCERA 13 was held the two half days after the annual meeting. Twelve speakers presented information on topics related to soil testing and plant analysis to 71 attendees. The NCERA 13 working group is in a transition period with several changes in membership. New members are coming on-board in Minnesota, Illinois, and Indiana and a change will soon occur in Michigan. Ohio and Nebraska have no representative. Consensus of the groups was to support the effort to prepare a national unified U.S. soil testing manual. Several chapters of bulletin NCR 221, "Recommended soil testing procedures for the North Central Region are planned to be revised and placed on the NCERA 13 website. Work on the website will be coordinated between Manjula Nathan at the University of Missouri and Kelly Delp at Purdue University. A draft of a white paper on On-Farm Trials has been prepared and needs to be finalized. The Committee discuss ways of engaging and involving representatives of commercial labs and industry.
Held a the "19th Soil-Plant Analysts Workshop" for Soil/Plant Analysis Testing Lab personnel, Consulting Agronomists and University Educators.
- A proceedings of the presentations was printed and distributed to the participants and is available for purchase from the NCERA 13.
- Participants gained information on how better to conduct appropriate tests, interpret test results and/or manage inputs.
