dc.description.abstractThe need for facilitation of access to soil information has never been greater. Growing human population, shrinking land and water resources, soil pollution, climate change and unequal distribution of agriculture-oriented technology impact negatively on global food security. There has been a long-standing interest in developing low-cost and easily accessible soil field kits to measure different properties of agricultural soils in order to improve their agronomic capacity. Test strips, in particular, have provided a favoured method of obtaining soil nutrient status information since the 1970s. Today there is renewed interest in using semi-qualitative colorimetric methods in soil assessment due to incorporation of modern technological solutions, such as smartphones, which could in turn increase the accuracy and precision of the existing methods. In this paper, we propose streamlined testing procedures based on experience gathered that may be conducted prior to a field kit development involving test strips. Results from laboratory and field experiments are presented, highlighting important factors which ought to be taken into account at the commencement of test-strip oriented studies.en_UK
