You must first send the sample in to a laboratory to have it analyzed for the various soil qualities. Once the lab has given you the test results you can begin to make your determinations. This is a VERY complex subject, one which agronomists study for years, and therefore much too complex to be answered here. However, you can take a look at the related link below to get an idea of where to start.

How do you determine which fertilizer to use?
Decide whether the crop to be grown will be organic or standard commercial.If organic, select manure (if autumn applied) or compost (if spring applied).If commercial, sample the soil in several locations of the field.Have soil sample tested.Follow fertility recommendation on report.If no soil sample is to be taken, analyze cropping history of field.Determine how much nutrients each crop has removed from the soil AND how much fertilizer has been added for each.Calculate fertility needs for new crop for each nutrient and apply same.
Why do you do a soil sample and analysis?
A soil sample and analysis helps to determine the nutrient levels, pH, organic matter content, and texture of the soil. This information is vital for making informed decisions on fertilizer applications, soil amendments, and crop selection, leading to improved plant growth, higher yields, and cost savings.
Is black soil need much fertilizer?
no it does not
How much 0-20-20 fertilizer per acre is needed for clover?
That all depends on your location and the soil type you have. Take a soil sample, have it tested by a reputable soils analysis laboratory, and follow their recommendation.
How do you neutralize soil after fertilized?
To neutralise a sample of soil, you must determine the pH of the soil sample either acidic or alkaline. Add lime (e.g. Limestone) to acidic soil to neutralise it. And add sulphur to alkaline soil which will neutralise it.
How can I effectively use fertilizer to improve the quality of my soil?
To effectively use fertilizer to improve soil quality, you should first test your soil to determine its nutrient needs. Then, choose a fertilizer with the right balance of nutrients for your specific soil deficiencies. Apply the fertilizer according to the instructions on the package, taking care not to over-fertilize, which can harm plants and the environment. Regularly monitor your soil's nutrient levels and adjust your fertilization schedule as needed.
How do you calculate fertilizer requirement on soil weight basis?
To calculate the fertilizer requirement on a soil weight basis, you need to first determine the nutrient content in the soil through soil testing. Once you have this information, you can calculate the amount of fertilizer needed to correct any nutrient deficiencies or meet crop requirements based on the recommended application rates. This calculation takes into account the desired nutrient concentration in the soil, crop nutrient uptake, and fertilizer nutrient content.
How much does a nitrogen based fertilizer increase the acidity level of the soil on a grass crop?
How much nitrogen per square metre have you put on the soil??
What are the other ways of preserving soil fertility?
by avoiding too much use of fertilizer
Do nitrogen fertilizers work better than no fertilizer?
Any fertilizer is better on poor soil than no fertilizer. too much of any single fertilizer is also bad for plants. Little and often is best.
How do you control brown patch disease in your lawn?
The best thing to do is take a sample plug of dying grass to a nursery and have them do an analysis it. It would be a good idea to get a soil sample done so that you will know what fertilizer to use.
What will happen to the roots if too much fertilizer is applied?
That not enough fertilizer can be taken in is what happens to roots when too much fertilizer is applied.Specifically, more fertilizer can be applied than can be taken in by the roots. It is left present but inaccessible in the soil. It may damage and burn the roots.
