Anyone have experience using this test?

I had it done here a couple of times, as part of a trial program to see how it worked with vegetable crops.

Results seemed consistent with the later behaviour of the crop; though there were of course other factors (weather etc.) involved. But I think it can be useful. I suspect that it's sometimes assumed that more N is needed when there's actually enough of it available.
