DETERMINATION OF EXCHANGE CAPACITY AND EXCHANGEABLE BASES IN SOIL—AMMONIUM ACETATE METHOD

Abstract
The advantageous features of a method for determining exchange capacity and exchangeable bases in soil, essentially a leaching by aq. neutral [image] ammonium acetate, are pointed out. The analytical procedure originally described by Schollenberger and Dreibelbis (Soil Sci. 30: 161-173. 1930), with changes indicated to be desirable by experience, is described.
