Methods designed to measure the cation-exchange properties of plant tissues have been reviewed. They depend on the replacement of the exchangeable cations of the tissues by H⁺, which is then ...

WOOSTER, OH - A new study contains valuable recommendations that can inform container nursery fertilization practices in the northeastern United States. In this region, most nursery substrates are ...

Managing soil pH is crucial for maximizing crop yields and promoting overall soil health. The optimal soil pH is typically between 5.5 and 7.0 for most crops growing in Delaware. Maintaining a ...

Soils have a natural characteristic called the cation exchange capacity (CEC) that allows them to hold (and exchange) cations (e.g., Ca+2 or Na+). These cations are held tight enough on the CEC that ...

Several legume and grass species, having roots of widely different cationexchange capacities, were grown in pots for four to six months on highly calcareous Turkish soil. Following the growth of the ...
