Soil acidification as a limiting factor to agricultural production in the municipality of Ljubovija
The process of soil acidification means, above all, a reduction of soil solution pH. It can be the result of slow, years-long natural process or considerably accelerated due to a combination of natural processes and anthropogenic influences. Acidification is a very important factor in the...

| Summary: | The process of soil acidification means, above all, a reduction of soil
solution pH. It can be the result of slow, years-long natural process or
considerably accelerated due to a combination of natural processes and
anthropogenic influences. Acidification is a very important factor in the
permanent degradation of the fertility of soil, as the most important and
hardly renewable natural resource. Studies on soil susceptibility to the
process of acidification were carried out in the Municipality of Ljubovija,
using three methods. Defining of the degree of soil susceptibility to the
process of acidification allows timely activities aimed at the reduction of
overall soil acidity. Management of agricultural land, in isolated areas,
must be focused on a balanced use of fertilizers and agrotechnical measures,
using proper planting /crops to achieve the optimum use of resources and
sustainable soil fertility. |
