Soil test phosphorus(STP) is an indicator of how much [phosphorus] is expected to be available for plant use. If STP values are to be compared, the laboratory test method for extracting [phosphorus] and how the number is reported(parts per million – ppm or lbs/acre) must be known.  2, record 1, English, - soil%20test%20phosphorus

Different testing laboratories can use different methods for extracting [phosphorus], producing different test results that are difficult to compare even for the same sample.  2, record 1, English, - soil%20test%20phosphorus

... a simpler indicator laboratory test has been devised. This test takes from 24 to 48 hours to perform. The principle of this test is based on the fact that human and warm blooded animals grow in their intestines a family of bacteria called coliform bacteria. These organisms are usually harmless, but are relatively easy and inexpensive to test for. Since coliform bacteria are present in human and animal excrement only, whenever a sample of water shows a presence of coliform, the water is immediately assumed to contain human sewage and is therefore declared unsafe for human consumption.  1, record 2, English, - indicator%20laboratory%20test

On a donc mis au point une analyse de laboratoire par indicateur beaucoup plus simple, analyse qui prend de 24 à 48 heures. Cette analyse part du principe que l'intestin de l'homme et des animaux à sang chaud est l'hôte de bactéries qu'on appelle bactéries coliformes. Ces organismes sont généralement inoffensifs, et il est relativement facile et peu coûteux d'en déterminer la présence. Comme ces bactéries coliformes ne se retrouvent que dans les excréments des humains et des animaux, il faut conclure, lorsqu'il y en a dans un échantillon d'eau, que cette eau contient des déchets humains et qu'elle est impropre à la consommation.  1, record 2, French, - analyse%20de%20laboratoire%20par%20indicateur
