Chemistry of Hydrogen and Aluminium in the Development of Soil Acidity

After reading this article you will learn about the chemistry of hydrogen and aluminium in the development of soil acidity. It is evident that hydrogen and aluminium both contributes soil acidity. Hydrogen ions contribute soil acidity directly while aluminium ions do so indirectly through hydrolysis. Therefore, it is essential to know the chemistry of aluminium for the development of soil [...]

Development of Acid Soil: 5 Factors

This article throws light upon the five main factors responsible for the development of acid soil. The factors are: 1. Leaching due to Heavy Rainfall 2. Microbiological Factors 3. Origin of Acid from Acid Parent Rock Material 4. Removal of Bases by Crops 5. Continuous Application of Acid-Forming Fertilizers. Factor # 1. Leaching due to Heavy Rainfall: The magnitude of [...]
