Plant and Soil, Vol. 68, No. 1 (1982), pp. 135-138 (4 pages) A rapid exchange procedure using ammonium acetate as an extractant was developed for measurement of cation exchange capacity (CEC) of plant ...

Researchers determined the variability of cation exchange capacity in different batches of pine bark and studied the influence of particle size, substrate pH, and peat amendment on CEC. Part of the ...

Several legume and grass species, having roots of widely different cationexchange capacities, were grown in pots for four to six months on highly calcareous Turkish soil. Following the growth of the ...

Soils have a natural characteristic called the cation exchange capacity (CEC) that allows them to hold (and exchange) cations (e.g., Ca+2 or Na+). These cations are held tight enough on the CEC that ...

Retention time and ion separation can be adjusted by altering eluent concentration and flow rate. Increasing the ...

WOOSTER, OH - A new study contains valuable recommendations that can inform container nursery fertilization practices in the northeastern United States. In this region, most nursery substrates are ...
