Abstract

This new publication, which now replaces NZ Soil Bureau Scientific Report 10A, includes minor changes to existing methods and the addition of the following methods: Pyrophosphate-extractable carbon; 2 M KCl-extractable nitrate;\nOlsen-soluble phosphorus; Bray 2-soluble phosphorus; Total phosphorus (NaOH fusion); Leaching by automatic extractor (for cation exchange properties); Cation exchange properties determined by silver thiourea extraction; Phosphate-extractable sulphate determined by AutoAnalyzer. In addition, a new system of numbering the methods has been used.
