Publications are listed for each area under the four competency areas: Soil Nutrient Management, Soil and Water Management, Pest Management and Crop Protection. In many instances, individual publications cover more than one area, though they have been specifically identified for a given area objective.  \nThis study guide is not intended to provide direct questions and answers for the CCA exams, but rather to provide reference materials for continuing education. In this electronic format reference materials may be easily updated to reflect the latest research based agronomic information for the benefit of the adviser and his/her clientele.  \nINDEX  \nSOIL NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT COMPETENCY AREAS  \nArea 1.
