The suitability of a grassland area for a specific type of management and intensity of use depends crucially on the soil. Individual grassland soils differ in terms of yield potential, yield stability, susceptibility to trampling and compaction, susceptibility to weed infestation, lime and fertilizer requirements, and fertilization efficiency. Therefore, assessing soil quality and current soil condition, as well as identifying yield-limiting factors, is of great practical importance. The quality and condition of grassland soils can be assessed and evaluated in the field using simple tools.
