2. Calcium deficiency (plant disorder) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_deficiency_(plant...

   Soil pH should be tested, and corrected if needed, because calcium deficiency is often associated with low pH. [14] [15] [citation needed] [16] Early fruit will generally have the worst symptoms, with them typically lessening as the season progresses. Preventative measures, such as irrigating prior to especially high temperatures and stable ...

3. Soil pH - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_pH

   The pH is measured in soil-water (1:1) and soil-salt (1:2 ) solutions. For convenience, the pH is initially measured in water and then measured in CaCl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {CaCl2}}} . With the addition of an equal volume of 0.02 M CaCl 2 {\displaystyle {\ce {CaCl2}}} to the soil suspension that was prepared for the water pH, the final soil ...

4. Base-cation saturation ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base-cation_saturation_ratio

   Base-cation saturation ratio (BCSR) is a method of interpreting soil test results that is widely used in sustainable agriculture, supported by the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service (ATTRA) [1] and claimed to be successfully in use on over a million acres (4,000 km 2) of farmland worldwide.

5. 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 ...

6. Scholander pressure bomb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholander_pressure_bomb

   A diagram showing the setup of a Pressure bomb. A pressure bomb, pressure chamber, or Scholander bomb is an instrument that can measure the approximate water potential of plant tissues. A leaf and petiole or stem segment is placed inside a sealed chamber. Pressurized gas (normally compressed nitrogen) is slowly added to the chamber.

7. Soil health - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_health

   Specific benchmarks used to evaluate soil health include CO 2 release, humus levels, microbial activity, and available calcium. [7] Soil health testing is spreading in the United States, Australia and South Africa. [8] Cornell University, a land-grant college in NY State, has had a Soil Health Test since 2006.
