“…Hydrogen-saturated resins have been used for this purpose by Pratt (1951), Schmitz and Pratt (1953), Salomon and Smith (1957), Arnold (1958), MacLean (1961, Stahlberg (1959), Scott et al (1960), Barber and Mathews (1962), Miller (1963), Feigenbaum et al (1981), and Martin and Sparks (1983). These resins have high cation-exchange capacities, far exceeding those of soils.…”

“…Since then, ion exchange resins have been adopted to measure the amounts of plant-available nutrient ions in soils and the rates at which they are released (Salomon and Smith 1957;Bowman et al 1978;Martin and Sparks 1983;Skogley et al 1990). To date, based on our literature search, there have been about 400 journal articles published.…”

Qian, P. and Schoenau, J. J. 2002. Practical applications of ion exchange resins in agricultural and environmental soil research. Can. J. Soil Sci. 82: 9-21. The use of synthetic ion-exchange resins to examine ion bioavailability in soil and sediment systems has attracted much attention over the years. The first report in this regard was made 7-8 yr after resins were developed in the 1930s. So far, nearly 400 journal articles have been published related to use of resins in soil and environmental studies. The experience gained has led to more widespread applications in research as well as practical use in soil fertility assessment and fertilizer recommendations. Two commercial products developed in North America have directly resulted from years of research efforts. Recent developments in resin technology and availability warrant an updated review of the literature to aid in better understanding and utilizion of this technique.In this paper we provide an overview of historic and current developments in the use of ion exchange techniques in soil research. We also provide specific examples of successful use of batch and diffusion-sensitive ion exchange techniques in research and commercial use to assess ion availability. Finally, we address certain frequently asked questions about how the ion exchange resin technique is applied and how results are interpreted, including their advantages and limitations.Key words: Ion exchange resin, agriculture, environment, soil research Qian, P. et Schoenau, J. J. 2002. Application pratique des résines échangeuses d'ions dans la recherche sur les sols cultivés et naturels. Can. J. Soil Sci. 82: 9-21. L'usage de résines échangeuses d'ions pour évaluer la biodisponibilité des ions dans le sol et les sédiments a considérablement retenu l'attention au fil des ans. Le premier rapport sur le sujet a été publié 7 ou 8 ans après la création des résines, dans les années 30. On répertorie pour l'instant près de 400 articles sur l'utilisation de telles résines dans les études sur le sol et sur l'environnement, dans les périodiques scientifiques. L'expérience aidant, les applications de ces produits en recherche et pour l'évaluation de la fertilité du sol et la formulation de recommandations se sont multipliées. De nombreuses années de recherche ont abouti à la genèse de deux produits commerciaux en Amérique du Nord. Les progrès récents de la technologie des résines et l'existence de tels produits justifient un nouveau regard sur la littérature scientifique, si l'on veut mieux comprendre et exploiter cette technique. Les auteurs tracent dans leurs grandes lignes l'historique des techniques d'échange d'ions dans la recherche sur les sols et les développements récents en la matière. Ils présentent aussi des cas spécifiques où les techniques d'échange d'ions par lot et par diffusion ont donné de bons résultats dans la recherche et le commerce pour évaluer la disponibilité des ions. Enfin, les auteurs répondent à des questions souvent posées sur les applications de la technique des résines échan...

“…However, little work has been done using ion exchange resins for extracting soil Zn. Salomon and Smith (11) found that use of exchange resin appeared to be more effective in estimating crop response to K fertilizer than buffered acetate solutions. Moser et al (7) concluded that an ion exchange resin method of estimating soil P concentration demonstrated greater precision in predicting P uptake than routine chemical extractants.…”
