Interim organic rating (surface factors)

Description

The interim organic rating returns the point deduction for the surface factors of organic soils. The top 60cm of compacted peat is considered for the base rating. Three factors are rated for their contribution to seed establishment, crop growth and management. These are structure and consistence/degree of decomposition (B) (fibre content), reaction (V) and nutrient status and salinity (N).
