We routinely send these off from the Cook Extension Office. ($5\/sample). Usually results return in less than a week.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Samples should be collected slightly offset from the row, approximately three inches deep. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two conditions are used in determining the need for supplemental Ca: a) The soil test for Ca must be at least 500 lb.\/A and, b) The Ca:K ratio must be at least 3:1 (i.e. at least three times as much Ca as K).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calcium is passively absorbed by the peanut. The amount absorbed depends on the concentration of Ca in the soil solution and the amount of water absorbed by the plant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peanuts to be saved for seed should receive 1000 lb\/a gypsum at early bloom to runner-type peanuts regardless.<br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1568\" style=\"width:769px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-6.png 769w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-6-300x66.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This sample report does not call for gypsum. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-7.png 1360w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-7-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-7-1024x431.png 1024w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/files\/2025\/07\/image-7-768x323.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peanut Pegging Zone Testing Info<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1567"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1570,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1567\/revisions\/1570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/cook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
