“…Several researchers have indicated that exchangeable acidity or AI provide superior indices to pH for the prediction of lime requirement (Hoyt and Nyborg, 1987;Hume et al, 1988;Martini et al, 1977;Reeve and Sumner, 1970). This was not true in this study, however.…”

Due, in part, to the relative paucity of published comparisons based on field generated data, there is still poor agreement regarding the relative merits of lime requirement indices based on exchangeable AI and those based on pH. The objective of this study was to compare such indices using results obtained from long-term field experiments. Data were obtained over 22 site-years from lime trials conducted on clay (Typic Haplorthox) and sandy loam (Plinthic Paleudult) soils differing widely in organic carbon content. Relative maize (Zea mays L.) yields were used to compare the prognostic value of soil pH with indices obtained using exchangeable A1 and exchangeable acidity (A1 + H). Both within and across soils, pH proved to be markedly inferior to A1 based indices. Exchangeable acid saturation of the effective cation exchange capacity, a readily obtained and popular index of lime requirement in some countries, proved as effective as less easily acquired indices based on exchangeable A1 per se. The findings reported are consistent with those of many glasshouse studies and support the viewpoint that indices based on AI or acid saturation should replace pH as a measure of lime requirement.

“…The exchangeable cations Ca, Mg, and K were recorded in varying concentrations from low to very high and plant-available P (Olsen P) was generally low, indicating that C. vitalba does not require high concentrations of Ca, Mg, K, or P in order to thrive. CaClz-A1 concentrations were well below those associated with A1 toxicity in white clover (Edmeades et al 1983;Hume et al 1988).…”

“…Ten topsoil samples (0-10 cm), excluding litter, were taken from each of these sites with a 2.5 cm diameter coring device and (with the exception of the Auckland site) the soil profile was described to a depth of approximately 1 m. Chemical analysis of the topsoil samples was done according to the methods of Blakemore et al (1987) (pH was measured in water). The method for determining 0.02M CaC12-extractable A1 (CaClz-A1) is described in Hume et al (1988).…”

“…In soils of low pH, Ca concentrations tend to be low and cations such as A13+ and Fe 3+ are more available (Mengel & Kirkby 1982). The solubility of A1 in soils begins to increase substantially below pH 5.5 (Coleman et al 1958;McCart & Kamprath 1965;Grime & Hodgson 1969), and plant growth has been found to be negatively correlated with various indices of plant-available A1 in soils (Moschler et al 1960;Adams & Lund 1966;Hoyt & Nyborg 1972;Hume et al 1988).…”

The nutritional requirements of the naturalised vine, Clematis vitalba, were investigated in order to determine soil factors which might restrict its growth. Topsoil samples (0-10 cm), collected from 19 sites where C. vitalba has naturally established in New Zealand, had moderately acid to near neutral pH values, high to very high percentage base saturation, and medium to very high concentrations of the exchangeable cations Ca, Mg, and K, but tended to have low plant-available P and phosphateextractable sulphate concentrations. Extractable-A1 concentrations were very low. Profile descriptions at these sites showed that almost all soils were being or had been rejuvenated by alluvium, colluvium, or tephra. The soils had few physical impediments to root growth, so plants were readily able to exploit the soils and their nutrients.In a glasshouse experiment, growth of C. vitalba increased with increasing rate of lime (CaCO3) and with increasing rate of applied P. Greatest growth in these conditions was associated with: pH = 4.7; exchangeable A1 = 4.6 me./100 g; 0.02M CaC12- B92019 Received 18 May 1992; accepted 19 October 1994extractable A1 = 3.5 mg/g; and Olsen P = 56 mg/g. Death of plants was associated with: pH = 3.7; exchangeable A1 = 12.6 me./100 g; 0.02M CaC12-extractable A1 = 107 mg/g; and Olsen P = 5.0 mg/g. The response to lime was to high pH and/or low A1 concentrations rather than to high concentrations of Ca, indicating that C. vitalba is not a caleicole. Plant growth was found to be more closely correlated with CaClz-extractable A1 concentrations than to pH or exchangeable A1 concentrations. In a second (subtractive nutrient) experiment, growth of C.

“…Manganese (Mn 2+ ) is an essential trace element for plant growth but its potential toxic was easily activated in soils, and also threatened the accumulation of plant biomass (Foy, 1984;Hume et al, 1988). Manganese can be incorporated into the structural framework of the goethite by isomorphous substitution of Fe 3+ ion in the octahedral sites (Stiers and Schwertmann, 1985;Sileo et al, 2001).…”

2 Rape (Brassica napus L.) seedling pot experiments were performed with a red soil treated with goethite which had boron (B) either adsorbed (ad-B-goethite) or occluded (oc-B-goethite). Soil acidity, different forms of manganese in the soils and different elements content of the rape seedlings were determined. It was found that the addition of boron-containing goethite to the soils resulted in increased rape growth, elevated soil pH and decreased exchangeable acidity. Compared with the control, boron-containing goethite elevated the content of exchangeable manganese (Mn) (EXC-Mn), organic matter bound Mn (OM-Mn), reducible oxide Mn (RO-Mn) and residual Mn (RES-Mn) which were difficult to use for plant. Low labile organic matter was significantly correlated with easily reducible oxide Mn (ERO-Mn) (P < 0.01) and RO-Mn (P < 0.05). Middle organic matter and soil pH was significantly (P < 0.05) correlated with RES-Mn. Stepwise regression was used to select the combination of variables that best estimates shoot and root dry weight of rape seedling. Among them, soil pH, EXC-Mn, OM-Mn, RO-Mn and RES-Mn significantly influenced the dry weight of rape seedlings. The addition of boron-containing goethite improved the uptake of iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and copper (Cu) element and decreased the uptake of Mn and zinc (Zn) element in rape seedling. The results suggested that boron-containing goethite could provide a better soil acidity environment for plant growth; it was also an important agent increasing a part of manganese difficult to use for plant and reducing the activity of soil manganese, which was beneficial to altering rape seedling growth.
