interimSoilRating: Interim soil rating (surface factors)

In mitmon/SRS: Suitability Rating System Version 6

Interim soil rating (surface factors)

Description

The interim soil rating determines a point deduction based on the surface parameters of the soil. There are seven parameters for surface factors. These are structure and consistence (D), organic matter context (colour) (F), depth of top soil (E), reaction (pH) (V), salinity (dS/m) (N), sodicity (SAR) (Y), and peat depth (cm) (O). Currently, E, N, Y, and O are not used. Future updates will include this additional information.
