Laboratory reports from certified laboratories shall show ratings based on Auburn University's calibration curves. Numerical soil test values, when shown, must be those obtainable by procedures prescribed by Auburn University. Such values must be rated, i.e., very high, high, medium, low, or very low or described in terms of a fertility index that will indicate percent sufficiency. Laboratory reports shall always show the farmer's name and address where the samples were collected. The report shall be similar to those used by Auburn University. Certified laboratories shall send a copy of every tenth report on Alabama samples to the Soil Testing Laboratory, Auburn University. In July of each year, laboratories shall also submit a summary showing the number of Alabama samples by counties analyzed in the previous year.
