土壤测试是农业生产系统养分管理的重要实践。在美国，土壤测试方法和解释因州而异，使得机构合作充满挑战，农作物施肥指南也不一致。为了提高最终用户的采用率，需要统一和透明的磷钾土壤肥力测试和肥料建议。肥料推荐支持工具 (FRST) 项目正在开发一个 P 和 K 相关校准结果的综合数据库，可通过在线工具访问该数据库，用于研究和肥料推荐开发。该合作项目包括 30 多所赠地大学、USDA-ARS、USDA-NRCS 和几个非营利组织，包含一项全国调查，描述了土壤测试的现状、相关校准数据包含的最低要求和数据库人口，并创建了 FRST 作为用户友好的在线决策支持工具。 FRST 项目将为美国各地的作物营养建议提供更加一致、透明和基于科学的信息。
Soil testing is an important practice for nutrient management in agricultural production systems. In the United States, soil‐test methods and interpretations vary across state lines, making institutional collaborations challenging and crop fertilization guidelines inconsistent. Uniformity and transparency in P and K soil fertility testing and fertilizer recommendations are needed to enhance end‐user adoption. The Fertilizer Recommendation Support Tool (FRST) project is developing a comprehensive database of P and K correlation–calibration results that can be accessed through an online tool for use in research and fertilizer recommendation development. This collaborative project, which includes over 30 land‐grant universities, the USDA‐ARS, the USDA‐NRCS, and several not‐for‐profit organizations, contains a national survey describing the current status of soil testing, minimum requirements for correlation–calibration data inclusion, and database population and creating FRST as a user‐friendly online decision support tool. The FRST project will provide more consistent, transparent, and science‐based information for crop nutrient recommendations across the United States.
