在过去的三四十年里，澳大利亚对土壤和植物测试服务的需求略有增长。这种发展反映出农民越来越认识到定期使用土壤和植物分析可以带来切实的好处。与这些变化相伴随的是，可用服务范围的广度和复杂性不断增加，仪器的进步允许更快的分析吞吐量，计算机管理系统（包括计算机生成的报告）的发展，以及向初级生产者报告的时间普遍减少。这些发展并不总是与采样、分析、解释和施肥建议程序方面充分的质量控制和一致性相匹配。需要进一步的研究和方法开发，以引入通用试剂或离子交换树脂提取物，或将新的测试程序引入实验室常规，以提高实验室能力和周转时间或提高解释技能。为了完善对初级生产者的肥料建议，还需要决策支持软件的进步。未来的挑战是提供土壤和植物测试服务的各个机构的程序标准化和维持充分的质量控制。澳大利亚土壤和植物分析委员会（ASPAC）将在此过程中发挥关键作用。
During the past 3 4 decades, there has been a modest growth in the demand for soil amd plant testing services in Australia. Such development reflects an increasing awareness by farmers that there are tangible benefits from the regular use of soil and plant analysis. Concomitant with these changes, there has been an increasing breadth and sophistication in the range of available services, instrumental advances that permit more rapid analytical throughput, evolution of computer management systems (including computer-generated reports), and a general decrease in reporting time to primary producers. These developments have not always been matched with adequate quality control and uniformity in sampling, analysis, interpretation, and fertiliser advice procedures. There is need for further research and method development leading to the introduction of universal reagents or ion exchange resin extractions, or new test procedures into laboratory routines, to enhance laboratory capacities and turnaround times or to improve interpretation skills. Advances in decision support software are also required in order to refine fertiliser advice to primary producers. The challenge for the future is the standardisation of procedures and maintenance of adequate quality control by the various agencies offering soil and plant testing services. The Australian Soil and Plant Analysis Council (ASPAC) will play a pivotal role in this process.
