Properties Of Soil | Chemistry | Environmental Chemistry | Presentation | By:...
Soil properties include color, texture, humus, and structure. Color is influenced by mineral content, organic matter, iron, and moisture. It can provide insights into the soil environment. Common colors like white, red, brown, and black indicate different compositions. Texture refers to particle size of sand, silt, and clay. Soil structures include blocky, platy, massive, prismatic, and granular forms. Humus is dark organic matter that provides nutrients and helps retain water. It influences soil color, with higher humus resulting in darker colors.
Soil testing
Soil testing is important to determine fertilizer needs and maximize crop yields while avoiding over- or under-fertilization. The best approach is frequent soil tests followed by low-level, regular fertilizer applications. Soil tests measure nutrient levels and identify deficiencies, while tissue tests directly measure plant nutrient uptake. Professional lab testing using validated methods provides the most accurate results, identifying nutrient levels and soil properties to determine appropriate fertilization.
Introduction to Soil Science

Potassium Deficiency and remedies
Presented By: Dhaval Bhanderi
Topics: Potassium Deficiency and remedies, Soil Fertility Evaluation, Cotton Introduction, Adoption of Fertilizer dose in Cotton crop
Identifying PH and Plant Growth
This document discusses factors that affect soil productivity, including pH, organic matter, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and nutrient balance. It explains that colloids give soil its negative charge and allow it to attract and hold positively charged particles (cations) like nutrients. CEC measures the total cations a soil can retain. Higher clay and organic matter lead to higher CEC, allowing soils to retain more nutrients. The document also notes that organic matter improves soil properties, provides nutrients, and influences pH levels important for plant growth. Proper nutrient balance and adequate levels of elements like nitrogen are also key to supporting optimum plant growth.
Impression of Soil Acidity on Plant nutrient Availability
The document discusses soil acidity and its effects on plant nutrient availability. Key points include:
- Soil acidity reduces the availability of many plant nutrients and can inhibit crop growth. Nutrient availability is optimal at a soil pH between 5.5-7.5.
- Factors contributing to soil acidity include fertilizer use, organic matter removal, and natural soil properties. About 30% of global soils are acidic.
- The document analyzes soil samples from Bangladesh which are acidic with high clay content. Nutrients like phosphorus are largely unavailable to plants in these acidic soils.
Ass 202
This document discusses the movement of ions from soil to plant roots. There are three main ways this occurs:
1. Mass flow - Ions are transported from the soil solution to roots along with water flow during transpiration. Mass flow supplies more mobile nutrients like nitrogen and sulfur. It depends on water flow and soil moisture levels.
2. Diffusion - Less mobile nutrients like phosphorus and micronutrients diffuse from areas of high concentration in soil solution to areas of low concentration at the root surface. Diffusion is influenced by concentration gradients and the root's absorbing power.
3. Root interception and contact exchange - Roots intercept ions in the soil solution and exchange sites on roots can adsorb
Micronutrients- Franzen
Background of research on micronutrients and their need for North Dakota crops. The presentation was not given at conference due to time, but a handout was prepared nonetheless.
B Sc Agri II Sc,Sf & Nm, U 1 Soil And Plant Nutrient
The three main mechanisms by which nutrients move from soil to plant roots are root interception, mass flow, and diffusion. Root interception occurs when nutrients physically contact root surfaces. Mass flow transports nutrients to roots through water movement in soil via transpiration or percolation. Diffusion moves nutrients along concentration gradients from high to low concentrations. Factors like soil water content, temperature, root system size, and concentration gradients influence these mechanisms of nutrient transport from soil to roots.
Practical Nutrient Management for Organic Vegetables
This document discusses nutrient management for organic vegetable crops. It notes that organic fertilizers release nutrients more slowly than conventional sources, depending on soil biology. It also explains that organic management aims to build healthy soil by feeding soil life with organic matter, while supplemental organic fertilizers may be needed to meet crop nutrient demands and economic needs. The document provides an overview of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrient dynamics in soil and how organic farmers can manage nutrients effectively through practices like cover cropping and compost application.

Laing soil health 2012 d
1. The document discusses the importance of soil microbes in maintaining healthy and productive soil. It states that microbes are more important than soil chemistry, physics, or plant matter alone.
2. A healthy soil ecosystem has a balanced mix of soil basics, plant cover, microbes like fungi and bacteria, earthworms, and other organisms living in synchrony. Microbes break down plant and organic matter, store nutrients, and create stable soil structure.
3. Unhealthy soil practices like tilling and leaving soil bare disrupt this balance by damaging fungi and earthworms. This leads to loss of structure, oxygen, water, and nutrients as the soil ecosystem collapses.
(Soil Fertility Evaluation ) LAGUNAY, VIRGEL.pptx
There are several methods used to evaluate soil fertility, including analyzing plant growth and nutrient content, conducting biological field tests with indicator plants and microorganisms, testing the soil directly, and using modern technologies. Key factors that influence soil fertility are the availability of essential nutrients, pH, organic matter content, texture, microbial activity, water drainage, crop rotation practices, and erosion/compaction. Common methods to evaluate soil fertility involve testing the soil's chemical, physical, and biological properties to determine nutrient levels, pH, organic matter, and texture.

Plain Talk About Soil Chemistry
- 1. Plain Talk About Soil Chemistry Linda J. Brewer College of Agriculture Oregon State University
- 2. Fact #1: Plant nutrients must be dissolved in water.
- 5. Fact #4: Ammonia and ammonium fertilizers acidify soil.
- 6. Fact #5:Like diamonds, clay soils are forever.
- 7. Pop Quiz: What is the charge on soils?
- 8. Fact #6: Soils have a negative charge.
- 11. Cation Exchange is a Swap Meet. H + Al +3 Ca +2 Ca +2 Mg +2 K + K + H + H + H + H + Plant root Soil
- 14. Soil pH & Nutrient Availability

Editor's Notes
- Shopping for cereal with a two year old. The example of grass containing protein – but we don’t want it, and cattle don’t eat steaks Microbiology, pH and Temperature impact nutrient forms
- Soils have negative charge Nutrients have positive or negative charge You might have heard these terms
- I learned that not everyone remembers “opposites attract,” so it is good to say it. Might also mention that e.g., K+ is an important plant nutrient?
- Cation Exchange is trading: Plants trade what they cannot use for what they can. The soil acts as like the old drive-in movie theater.
- Soil pH influences plant nutrient availability. The chemistry behind soil pH is well understood, liming produces predictable responses
- Note that the greatest number of nutrients are non-limiting around pH 6 to 6.5. When bars touch top of their “band” (e.g., manganese, aluminum, iron, zinc at low pH and molybdenum at high pH), the element is available to the extent it becomes TOXIC. The low dip (e.g., in potassium around pH 8) means maximal availability of a “competing” ion OR binding by the mentioned ion (calcium+P = apatite, the stuff that makes up bones. VERY insoluble!) makes the ion in question (potassium/phosphorus) limiting. Call out Boron for the growers. Plants with really high nutrient requirements grow best at the middle pH Microbial activity impacted at xtremely lo and hi
