[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2850301, member: 5412"] Fertilizers and Soil Acidity Mosaic Fertilizer Technology Research Centre - April 2013 Source: Fertiliser Technology Resarch Centre, The University of Adelaide, Australia Executive Summary - Soil acidification is a natural process in high rainfall environments where leaching slowly acidifies soil over time. - Intensive agriculture can speed up soil acidification through many processes – increasing leaching, addition of fertilizers, removal of produce and build-up of soil organic matter. - Of all the major fertilizer nutrients, nitrogen is the main nutrient affecting soil pH, and soils can become more acidic or more alkaline depending on the type of nitrogen fertilizer used. - Nitrate-based products are the least acidifying of the nitrogen fertilizers, while ammonium-based products have the greatest potential to acidify soil. - Soil acidification due to use of phosphorus fertilizers is small compared to that attributed to nitrogen, due to the lower amounts of this nutrient used and the lower acidification per kg phosphorus. Phosphoric acid is the most acidifying phosphorus fertilizer. - Potassium fertilizers have little or no effect on soil pH. - See more at: [url]http://www.cropnutrition.com/fertilizers-and-soil-acidity#sthash.FgDKo1Lg.dpuf[/url] [/QUOTE]
