In the field of soil science different methods of soil analysis are adopted in various countries. Therefore compatibility studies of soil test methods used in Latvia and other countries, especially those internationally accepted, are topical. For the experiment 37 top layer soil samples were taken from agricultural land in Latvia: Brown lessive soil (Stagnic Luvisol), silt loam, pH KCL 6.6-7.2, Peterlauki; Sod-gleysolic soil (Mollic Gleysol), fine sand, pH KCL 6.7-6.8, Lapukrogs; Brown soil (Luvisol), loamy sand, pH KCL 4.7-6.6, Kronauce. The soil tests were simultaneously done at the Latvia University of Agriculture (in cooperation with Dr. G. Mezals) and at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (in cooperation with Prof. J. Persson and Dr. E. Otabbong) using conventional methods and procedures for Latvia and Sweden. With some approximation it is possible to compare soil test data obtained by methods used in Latvia with those used in Sweden.
