What is the naming structure for the Soil Test Layer attributes?

Requirements:

Farms and field boundaries created.
Crop Zones assigned.

Answer:

If a Soil Test Layer needs to be edited, or you need to upload a custom sample point layer into AgStudio, please refer to the following standards for labeling layer attributes as these are the most common names used in our standard calculators and scripts:

Description	Name	UOM	Decimal Precision
Sample ID	SampleID	n/a	n/a

Soil pH	pH	n/a	1
Buffer pH	BpH	n/a	1
Soluble Salts	SS	mmho/cm	2
Aluminum	Al	ppm	0
Organic Matter	OM	%	1
Nitrate	NO3	ppm	1
Phosphorus	P	ppm	1
Potassium	K	ppm	1
Calcium	Ca	ppm	0
Magnesium	Mg	ppm	0
