“…Liming of acidic soils in Kenyan Rift valley resulted in a reduction of exchangeable acidity, an increase in available P and increased yields (Kisinyo et al 2014). In acid soils, liming generally improved crop production (Nuwamanya 1984) and increased microbial activity (Badole et al 2015). However, little has been done to assess the optimal soil pH for effective nodulation and biological N fixation, and the potential of liming materials to enhance nodulation in low pH soils.…”

There is a wide application of rhizobia inoculants to legume crops in Africa, irrespective of the soil acidity, though the latter limits the effectiveness of inoculants. Two trials were conducted in a controlled environment to determine suitable soil pH and impact of liming on soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation to inform proper application of the rhizobia-inoculant technology on acid soils. In the first trial; soil, variety and inoculation had significant influence (p < 0.05) on weighed nodule effectiveness (WNE) and N fixation. Strongly acidic soils recorded low WNE and N fixation. In the second trial, WNE and N fixation significantly increased with coapplication of lime and inoculation (p < 0.05). The results showed that soybean inoculation is effective in increasing nodulation and N fixation in moderate acidic soils, contrarily to strongly acidic soils. Interestingly, co-application of lime and inoculation has potential of increasing nodulation and N fixation in strongly acidic soils. The WNE is recommended as a robust formula to report nodule effectiveness, compared to the current percentage method.

“…Correlation coefficient study also showed that soil OC of the land use types was significantly, positively and highly correlated with pHDA (r = 0.552, P ≤ 0.01), TPA (r = 0.526, P ≤ 0.01) and PD of soil of the land use types was significantly and positively correlated with pHDA (r = 0.323, P ≤ 0.05) and TPA (r = 0.322, P ≤ 0.05). Badole et al, (2015) also reported the significant positive correlation between organic C with pH dependent acidity and total potential acidityin acidic soil of West Bengal.…”

Soil acidity is also the major problem of the red and lateritic soils. Acidification causes the loss of base cations and increases aluminium saturation and as a result, decrease in crop yields. Among the different nature of soil acidity, pH dependent acidity (pHDA) and total potential acidity (TPA) are very important in relation to nutrient supplying capacity of the soil. To study depth-wise and land use-wise variation of pH dependent acidity (pHDA) and total potential acidity (TPA) and its relationship with soil properties, fifty-four representative soil samples were collected from three depths (viz., 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm and 40-60 cm) from 6 various land uses viz., forest land, cultivated rice land, cultivated ricepotato land, orchard land, pasture land and fallow land of Birbhum district of lateritic zone of West Bengal. The soil samples were analyzed for pHDA and TPA and soil properties like pH, EC, organic C, bulk density, particle density, available N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O using standard methodology. It was observed that there was significant depth-wise and land usewise variation of pHDA and TPA. In all the land uses, pHDA and TPA was decreased with depth. The mean pHDA irrespective of soil depths was highest in cultivated rice-potato land and lowest in pasture land. The mean TPA irrespective of soil depths was highest in cultivated rice-potato land and lowest in pasture land. TPA and pHDA were significantly positively and negatively correlated with OC and BD of soil respectively.

“…Currently, some agricultural practices must be applied to alleviate soil Al toxicity and maintain appropriate crop productivity. The application of alkaline amendments (i.e., liming materials) can neutralize soil acidity and increase soil pH, [43][44][45] thus reducing soil solution Al 3+ activity. 44 Soil pH was positively and significantly correlated with the content of exchangeable base cations in acidic soils.…”

BACKGROUND: Aluminum (Al) toxicity caused by soil acidification is the main constraint for crop growth in tropical and subtropical areas of southern China. The critical values of soil solution Al 3+ activity and pH for crops in acidic soils can provide a useful reference for soil acidity amelioration.RESULTS: A pot experiment in a greenhouse was conducted to investigate the critical values of soil solution Al 3+ activity and pH for canola and maize in an Ultisol and an Alfisol. The critical values of soil solution Al 3+ activity in Ultisol and Alfisol for canola were 1.5 and 10.0 ∼mol L −1 , and 13.9 and 30.4 ∼mol L −1 for maize, respectively. The Al tolerance varied with soil type for the same variety of crop. There was more biomass of roots and shoots and higher plant height under the same Al 3+ activity, and thus greater critical values of soil solution Al 3+ activity for both crops in Alfisol than those in Ultisol, owing to higher Ca 2+ / Al 3+ , Mg 2+ /Al 3+ and K + /Al 3+ ratios in soil solution caused by higher cation exchange capacity and exchangeable base cations in Alfisol, when compared with those in Ultisol. The critical values of soil solution pH for canola and maize in Ultisol were 5.09 and 4.72, respectively; while those in Alfisol were 4.87 and 4.54, respectively. CONCLUSION: The critical values of Al 3+ activity were higher for maize than for canola and the critical values for both crops were higher in Alfisol than in Ultisol. The critical soil pH for both crops showed opposite trends to soil Al 3+ activity.
