Project Background
This project is an umbrella project for three separate project developing The Fertilizer Recommendation Support Tool (FRST). The aim of FRST is to improve the accuracy and transparency of soil-test based fertilizer recommendations by updating decades-old phosphorus and potassium recommendations and making the data available for use by anyone involved in nutrient management through the FRST tool. Improving soil-test-based recommendations and their interpretation has the potential to significantly reduce nutrient applications by accurately identifying the critical soil test value.
