Soil Nutrient ID Quiz (opens in new tab)

Take our soil nutrient quiz to test your knowledge of soil, soil nutrients, and soil acidity! This quiz is meant to be a learning tool, so don’t feel bad if you miss a few of them. Soil nutrients are essential to farming and optimum crop production. There are 18 essential nutrients for most dryland crops. A complete soil test report should include most of these although a few must be requested separately.
