Water-extractable alkalinity to estimate the acid-neutralising capacity of organic amendments

The effectiveness of amendments to increase the pH of an acidic soil can be expressed as acid-neutralizing capacity (ANC). The alkalinity measurement method, based on prolonged hydrolysis of organic amendments with acid, is widely used but may overestimate the ANC of the amendments. We developed met...
