I have found some tools which would be inserted to the soil, but I'm not sure about its accuracy. Can anybody suggest inexpensive, easy-to-use, accurate soil testing tools/kits?
For NPK, they a different methods. In order to measure this nutrients. I suggest, you should process the soil sample from analytical lab like UPLB Soil Analysis Lab.
For NPK results, the nutrient level is indicated on a scale from 0 (depleted) to 4 (surplus). pH test results are indicated on a scale from 4.5 to 7.5. Make sure your soil contains the three main nutrients (NPK). The site below can help you.
