title: 'drisdiagnostics: Diagnostic Systems for Plant Nutrient Analysis (DRIS, MDRIS,
  PASS)'
version: 1.0.1
abstract: Provides implementations of the Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated
  System (DRIS), the Modified DRIS (MDRIS), and the Plant Analysis with Standardized
  Scores (PASS) approaches for nutrient diagnosis in crops. These methods allow quantitative
  evaluation of nutrient imbalances using ratio-based indices and standardized scores,
  supporting improved fertilizer use efficiency and crop management decisions. The
  DRIS method is described in Walworth, J.L. and Sumner, M.E. (1987) <https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-4682-4_4>.
  The MDRIS approach is detailed in Beverly, R.B. (1987) <https://doi.org/10.1080/01904168709363672>.
  The PASS method combining DRIS and sufficiency ranges is presented in Baldock, J.O.
  and Schulte, E.E. (1996) <https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj1996.00021962008800030015x>.
