| Abstract/Contents: | Includes: Foreward; Theory (Acid Era in Turf Management (Sulfate of Ammonia Controls Weeds; Golf Clubs Put Acid Theory into Practice; Acid Era Died With the Grass; and The Rhode Island Turf Fertilizer Plats); The Chemistry of Soil Reaction (Soils Are Acid, Neutral or Alkaline; Active and Potential Acidity; Phosphates Most Available in Very Slightly Acid Soil; Acidity Increases Solubility of Trace Elements; Soil Granulation Depends on Soil Reaction; Stabilizing Action of Silt & Clay; Humus Has Beneficial Buffering Action; and Acid Soils Occur in Humid Regions); Theories Used to Explain Why Plants are Sensitive to Reaction; The Effect of Reaction on Living Plants (The White Potato; Legumes; Plants Requiring Acid Medium; Northern Grasses Vary in Ability to Withstand Acidity; Acid Soil Not Essential for Bent Grasses; Lime Counteracts Turf Disease; Reaction Ranges for Southern Grasses; Spotty Growth - A Sign of Incipient Acidity; and Moss and Wet Location Not Sure Sign of Acid Soil); The Bad Effects of Acidity (Marked Acidity Discourages Deep Rooting; Acidity Lessens Drought Tolerance; Acid Soil Aggravates Chemical Injury; Acidity Discourages Worms and Affects Micro-Organisms; and Acidity Accentuates Matting of Turf); Soil Organisms Can Destroy Thatch; Commercial Fertilizers Change Soil Reaction (Nitrogenous Fertilizers Have Greatest Effect; Superphosphate Reduces Acidity; and Potash Fertilizers Increase Active Acidity Temporarily); and Materials Used to Modify Soil Reaction (Gypsum & Lime Are Soil Amendments; and Lime Sources)); Practice (Soil pH Shows When Lime is Needed; The First Step is a Soils Test (Quick Tests Are Good Enough; Directions for Taking Soil Samples; and Dolomitic Limestone Corrects Magnesium Deficiency); Other Indications That Limestone is Needed (Type of Vegetation Suggests Reaction of the Soil; and Failure of Ammonium Sulphate Indicates Need for Lime); Kinds of Lime to Apply (Agricultural Lime; Limestone Rock Principle Source of Agricultural Lime; Ground Limestone; Hydrated Lime; and Mixture of Hydrate and Limestone); Lime for Fairways and Lawns (Soil Texture and Kind of Grass Affect Rate of Application on Fairways and Lawns); Rates for Applying Ground Limestone to Fairways and Lawns (When to Lime Fairways & Lawns); Lime on Greens; Rates for Applying Finely Ground Limestone to Greens (Scalded Greens Need Hydrated Lime); "Warning" - Lime is Not Compatible With Ammonia Fertilizer; and Appendix (How to Collect Soil Samples for Quick Tests). |
