marksituation

English translation: field conditions

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:marksituation
English translation:field conditions

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Agriculture / pesticides for agriculture
Swedish term or phrase: marksituation
NB: this text arrived with the German language marked for the spellchecker, so I don't know if this word is actually German rather than Swedish, since it comes up on Google in German contexts.
It's in a table of instructions/results for pesticides, table columns having no headings so little context really.
The entry says: En per marksituation.
Is this a plot of land, or could it refer to the use of land changing after a certain crop?
If it's any help, 3 boxes to the left it says:
Kvickrot, örtogräs, normala betingelser, fleråriga växter...
Advice appreciated.

field conditions
Explanation:
I interpret it as the specific conditions at a specific field (which is to be sprayed), including not only the condition of the soil but e.g. also what kinds of plant species that grows there.

soil situation


Explanation:
I think - but I'm really not sure - that soil situation might be the phrase they mean... especially as this doesn't seem to be used in Swedish.

Example sentence(s):
  • As indicated in Table 2, seven different testing methods are currently accepted for soil phosphorus testing, with each method designed for a specific soil situation. All too frequently, a P soil test procedure is applied to a soil for which a test was not
  • Test for over 22 soil variables and receive a start-to-finish, month-to-month tailored program specifically designed for your soil situation.
