Mehlich 3 Extraction for Macro- and Micronutrients Hailin Zhang, David Hardy, Rao Mylavarapu, and Jim Wang Application and Principle Mehlich 3 (M3) estimates plant availability of most macro- and micro-nutrients on soils acid to neutral pH using a dilute acid-fluoride-EDTA solution of pH 2.5. The method has shown to be well correlated to crop response to fertilizer phosphorus (P) and applicable for the determination of extractable potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na) and micronutrients, such as manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). Due to the corrosive n
