Chemical variables affecting the lime requirement determination of tropical peat soils
The carboxyl group in humic acid (HA) is the major functional group influencing the soil acidity. The soil pH(H2O), %HA, buffer capacity, milliequivalent (meq) COOH, meq phenolic OH, and meq total acidity/100 g peat are significantly correlated with lime requirement (LR). The LR of peat soils with h...
