Crop forecasting or prediction is the art of predicting crop yields and production before the harvest actually takes place, typically a couple of months in advance. Crop forecasting relies on computer programs that describe the plant-environment interactions in quantitative terms. The soil testing program starts with the collection of a soil sample from a field. The first basic principle of soil testing is that a field can be sampled in such a way that chemical analysis of the soil sample will accurately reflect the field’s true nutrient status.
