Abstract/Contents: | Explains that "acidic soil conditions pose much greater problems in turfgrass management than alkaline soil conditions." Describes how soil becomes acidic. Discusses problems associated with naturally occurring alkaline soils. Explains that "soil is a buffered system. It requires more acid or base to neutralize it than would be indicated by its pH value." Describes what to do "before embarking on a pH reduction program." Discusses when "soil acidification of alkaline pH soils [should] be attempted." Describes the situations where pH reduction should be attempted. |
