Soil Acidity Management, Part 1: Soil pH, natural factors, and crop production

I hope you enjoyed my previous 5-part series on basic cation saturation ratio concept this winter that you can still read online at https://croptechcafe.org. I ended that series with a call to action to focus on soil acidity and its management using soil pH, buffer pH, and lime to increase soil pH. To that end, this will be a 6-part series on soil acidity management including: 1) soil pH, natural factors, and crop production, 2) impacts of soil acidity, 3) buffer pH and lime quality, 4) lime application, stratification, and tillage, 5) site-specific management, and 6) economics and other considerations. Please follow this series as I walk through soil acidity and management in southeast Nebraska crop production.
