اطلاعات بیشترSoil type impacts on the rate of soil acidification pH drops faster in sandy soils Clay soils have a greater cation exchange capacity and a greater water holding capacity and so buffer better against soil acidificationHigher rainfall areas will have faster soil acidification rates as the higher rainfall can increase the rate and intensity of leaching the alkaline nutrients magnesium Many field experiments have been carried out in Australia to calibrate the results of laboratory soil testing with yield responses for Cu Iron Fe Manganese Mn Zinc Zn Zn HCl Soil test results for nutrients are usually expressed but little information can stipulate how much production may be lost in white clover grown at
اطلاعات بیشترSoil organic carbon SOC content is used to estimate of the soil organic matter content Low organic carbon levels in a soil indicates that the soil is low in organic matter and so offers less sites for adsorption of nutrients and less sorption back into the soil solution than a soil with a high organic carbon Organic carbon levels will vary according to the inherent soil type climate Soil testing for pH and Al is essential to identify the most likely limitations due to soil acidity Soil pH Soil pH is most commonly measured in water Albus lupins White clover Kenya Use Table 3 to assess your the aluminium soil test reading for plant tolerance ie highly sensitive sensitive tolerant or highly tolerant and

اطلاعات بیشترInterpreting Soil Tests A soil test is a snapshot of the condition of your soil at a given time When you look at test results remember that the soil is a living changing and dynamic entity Many soil labs and firms that sell fertilizer reference soil testing as a precise scienceIt is best in soils with pH between about 55 and 75 but will grow down to pH 45 if available aluminium and manganese levels are low and up to 10 It is the most salt tolerant of the commonly sown tropical grasses tolerating soil salt levels where electrical conductivity exceeds 10 dS/m Temperature
