   Then, using the initial soil pH and the aluminium content, the amount of lime needed to raise the pH to a desired level can be calculated. [68] Amendments other than agricultural lime that can be used to increase the pH of soil include wood ash, industrial calcium oxide , magnesium oxide, basic slag (calcium silicate), and oyster shells.

4. Soil test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_test

   In agriculture, a soil test commonly refers to the analysis of a soil sample to determine nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as the acidity or pH level. A soil test can determine fertility , or the expected growth potential of the soil which indicates nutrient deficiencies, potential toxicities from excessive ...

7. Residual sodium carbonate index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_Sodium_Carbonate...

   When dissolved sodium in comparison with dissolved calcium and magnesium is high in water, clay soil swells or undergoes dispersion which drastically reduces its infiltration capacity. [ 1 ] In the dispersed [ clarification needed ] soil structure , the plant roots are unable to spread deeper into the soil due to lack of moisture.

8. Cation-exchange capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cation-exchange_capacity

   Cation-exchange capacity (CEC) is a measure of how many cations can be retained on soil particle surfaces. [1] Negative charges on the surfaces of soil particles bind positively-charged atoms or molecules (cations), but allow these to exchange with other positively charged particles in the surrounding soil water. [2]

9. Soil matrix - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_matrix

   Soil particles can be classified by their chemical composition as well as their size. The particle size distribution of a soil, its texture, determines many of the properties of that soil, in particular hydraulic conductivity and water potential, [1] but the mineralogy of those particles can strongly modify those properties. The mineralogy of ...
