| Abstract/Contents: | "Many sources of irrigation water for turfgrass areas in the arid southwestern states of the US contain high levels of bicarbonates. As a result, soil pH can increase, soil permeability can be reduced, and deficiencies of micronutrients necessary for grass growth may occur. Injection of acid into the irrigation water is one possibility of neutralizing excess bicarbonates in irrigation water. However, sulfuric acid is difficult to handle, corrosive to most metals, concrete pipes and culverts, and expensive. A study was conducted at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces to evaluate the effect of irrigation water mixed either with Curative, Blast, one experimental acidifying product, or with sulfuric acid on pH and bicarbonate levels in the water. The three products were added to water containing 170ppm of bicarbonates at increasing amounts until a pH of 6.5 was reached. The pH and bicarbonate levels were determined using Method SM 2320B. Our results indicate that although the level of pH and bicarbonate dropped, it took a significantly higher amount of acidifying products than sulfuric acid to reach a pH of 6.5 and decrease the bicarbonate level. More research is necessary to test whether these products affect soil pH and bicarbonate similarly in field tests." |
