Results of statewide vineyard soil survey are displayed below in these graphics. I collected the soil samples and they were analyzed at FGL Environmental Labs in Santa Paula, CA. Dr. Ciro Velasco-Cruz our visiting statistics research professor, generated the graphs using SAS software. Take a moment to survey the results and compare them to your soil in your vineyard. How does your vineyard soil compare to the averages in your region of the state? I will be writing some more on the implications of each nutrient in the coming days and weeks.
