Introduction

This instruction manual is designed for use with the LaMotte
STH Series of professional soil testing outfits. The basic Model

phosphorus, and potassium. Intermediate STH outfits combine
these four tests with tests for other important plant nutrition
factors. The Model STH-14 Outfit (Code 5010-01) analyzes for
all of the factors listed above. This manual also includes special
instructions for testing nitrate, phosphorus, and potassium in
green plant tissues.
