Thanks for the video! In the "word of caution" slide, why is H included in the chart?

That's quite an irresponsible statement to say that fertilizer companies use calculated numbers in order to sell higher amounts of fertilizer. What do you think the main reason for using a calculated CEC as opposed to a lab determined CEC is? I think you know. The answer is not to sell more fertilizer.

Using this math generates higher amounts of fertilizers than looking at the individual nutrient values.

@@DeBaccoUniversity If CEC is used in the fertilizer equations, then possibly. The equations I use, for the most part, do not use CEC. I work for a soil lab and I do not sell fertilizer. I may have missed it in your presentation but how much higher do the calculated numbers end up being vs the lab-determined value? I'd say the largest determinant in not using lab-determined CEC is the cost of having it run by the lab. Almost all soil testing labs use a calculated-CEC because of the dangerous solutions that were formerly used in lab-determined CEC analysis.
