CEC can also influence when and how often nitrogen and potassium fertilizers can be applied. On low-CEC soils (less than 5 meg/20000g), for example, some leaching of cations can occur. Fall ...

Soil pH in a field impacts crop nutrient availability and growth. Regular soil testing helps Canadian farmers optimize ...

Researchers from Teagasc investigated the effect of including ribwort plantain with grass-clover for reducing nitrate leaching across a range of Irish soil types. The two-year, five-soil study ...
