| Abstract/Contents: | Different soil testing methods produce varying test results due to lack of testing standards and slight human error. Effective use of soil test data therefore depends on first understanding basic soil chemistry. There are five main soil properties: 1) pH, 2) buffer pH, 3) soluble salt content, 4) cation exchange capacity, and 5) percent base saturation. Sand, silt, clay, and organic matter composition percentages are also important, since each is different with respect to nutrient and water holding ability. |
