The recommendations are on the test results but I would wait until next May before you start dumping high levels of N on dormant warm season grass

From the fertilizer recommendations, it looks like you'll need 1 lb. of P for the front and back lawn; 1 lb of K for the front and 3 lbs of K for the back.

You can do a 1 lb of actual nutrient / 1k sq. ft. by applying a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10, 13-13-13, similar) in the beginning of the growing season. Then use SOP (0-0-50) or MOP (0-0-60), SOP preferred, to meet the additional 2 lbs of K per 1k sq ft for the back. And apply a nitrogen as needed.

I'm not sure how the indexes translate to ppm for this particular lab. Others might have an idea.

Bumping for other recommendations.

Below is a great thread for soil amendments.

Hello Everyone,

@Mightyquinn thank you for moving my post to the right place.
Thank you all for the valuable information.
Just FYI, I'm not a huge fan of NC's soil testing as they don't give you a whole lot of info. I really like Waypoint soil tests and the info they provide.
