Soil test crop response correlation studies is recognised as the best way to select soil tests for a region in the estimation of available nutrients. In Madras State, Olsen's method is used for the estimation of available P as a result of correlation studies conducted at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, on an All-India basis.
