  • Adsorption and Availability of Phosphorus in Response to Humic Acid Rates in Soils Limed with Caco3 OR Mgco3 9

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of HA rates and carbonate sources on the adsorption, phosphate maximum buffering capacity (PMBC), and P availability in two contrasting soils. Oxisol and Entisol samples were firstly incubated with the -1 following HA rates: 0, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg kg , combined with CaCO3 or MgCO3, to evaluate P adsorption. In sequence, soil samples were newly incubated with P (400 mg kg-1) to evaluate P availability. The least P adsorption was found when 296 mg kg-1 of HA was added to Oxisol. Applying HA rates decreased maximum adsorption capacity, increased P binding energy to soil colloids and did not alter PMBC of Entisol.

To investigate these relationships, we assembled a 5 database from the peer-reviewed literature containing information on 793 breakthrough curve experiments under steady-state flow conditions. Most of the collected experi- ments (642 of the 793 datasets) had been conducted on undisturbed soil columns, although some experiments on repacked soil, clean sands, and glass beads were also included. In addition to the apparent dispersivity, we focused attention on three poten- 10 tial indicators of preferential solute transport, namely the 5 %-arrival time, the holdback factor, and the ratio of piston-flow and average transport velocities.

  • Sugar Cane Response to Potassium Fertilization on Andisol, Entisol, and Mollisol Soils of Guatemala
    Guatemala Sugar Cane Response to Potassium Fertilization on Andisol, Entisol, and Mollisol Soils of Guatemala By Ovidio Pérez and Mario Melgar This research examines the potential for improved sugar cane yield and quality in Guatemala through increased potassium (K) use in combination with adequate nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) rates. A critical soil test K level for the major sugar cane-producing region of Guatemala is also suggested. Guatemala’s sugar cane region is located on its southern coastland in volcanic lowlands and coastal valleys. In the upper and middle parts of the region, high amounts of precipitation are common. Andisols and sandy soils with low K levels dominate. In contrast, the alluvial soils of the coastal valley generally have moderate levels of K. Most sugar cane growers do not consider application of K in their fer- tilization program, although K is extract- ed in large amounts by the crop. In fact, Andisols with low soil K sugar cane requires more K than N. levels are common in the Preliminary results from a regional study on N, P, and K use in sugar cane production area sugar cane showed a small but consistent crop response to K fertiliza- of Guatemala. tion on soils with low K levels (Pérez and Melgar, 1998).

  • Engineering Values from Soil Taxonomy
    ENGINEERING VALUES FROM SOIL TAXONOMY W. R. Philipson, R. W. Arnold, and D. A. Sangrey, Cornell University Many properties of engineering interest can be deduced from the connota­ tive nomenclature of Soil Taxonomy, the pedological soil classification sys­ tem adopted for use by the National Cooperative Soil Survey in 1965. The system is based on soil properties that have been defined quantitatively and named. Each soil class name, in turn, is composed of word elements taken from the names of those properties that are diagnostic for the soil class. The major features of a soil placed within any class are signified directly by the specific formative elements appearing in the soil class name. The descriptions and formative elements of six surface horizons (epipedons ), 17 subsurface horizons, 56 special features, and the 10 soil classes at the highest level of the system (orders), are provided. Because the basis of this paper is use of Soil Taxonomy by engineers, emphasis is placed on the nomenclature rather than the structure of philosophy of the system. The 39 formative elements considered to be most informative for general engineering analysis are highlighted for handy reference. •SINCE 1965, all U.S. Department of Agriculture soil survey reports have correlated soils into the new Soil Taxonomy (11, 12), until recently referred to as the 7th Approxi­ mation (10). In contrast to the qualitative nature of the previous pedological classifi­ cation system (2, 8, 14), Soil Taxonomyprovides aquantitative framework in which to place soils of tne United States as well as many soils of the world. Authors, attempt­ ing to point out the engineering value of the previous system, have been forced to treat the general merits of pedological soil surveys (4, 5, 6) or to confine themselves to specific soil series encountered in their particular project (7, 13).
