Abstract/Contents:Discusses acid-replacement products and their potential to improve water quality and soil rootzone environment. Summarizes the possible benefits of acidifying, including "increased nutrient availability", increased water infiltration", and "reduced calcite formation at the soil/gravel interface in greens." Focuses on the increased use of acid-replacement products and their potential agronomic and cost efficiency benefits. Concludes that "employing strategic plans to modify soil and water chemistry through the use of acidifying agents is complex, and you should consult with your local USGA agronomist or university personnel for guidance."
