1 Calcium, ph and Soil Health Tim Reinbott, MU Field Operations
2 Soil ph Fix it First Before You Do Anything Else!
3 But What Is it?
4 What Is ph? The lower the ph the more Hydrogen is Present
5 ph Scale-In Soils We Want to Be Slightly Acid-6.5-Why?
6
7 Some Plants Like Low ph Those that developed in forests and highly weathered soils
8 Blueberries-Do Best in Acid Soil Why? Evolved in Forest, Acid Soils Interaction with soil microbes Root System Does Not Have Fine Roots Iron Availability
9 Too High ph in Blueberry-Iron Deficiency
10 How Do You Lower the ph?-elemental Sulfur or Aluminum Sulfate- 6 months ahead of time.
11 Hydrangea-Pink vs Blue
12 The Lower The ph, The More Available Aluminum
13 Hydrangea-Pink vs Blue-Aluminum Turns the Flower Blue
14 What Is This And Why?
15 How Do We Correct The ph? Raising ph With Lime
16
17 Example of Soils-Mollisols and AlfisolspH increases as you move left
18 What Does Liming Do?
19 Lime Corrects Problems from Excessive Acidity Reduces Al and other metal toxicities Improves soil physical condition Stimulates microbial activity -Fungal Including symbiotic bacteria that fix N Improves availability of essential nutrients Supplies Ca and Mg for plants
20 Frequency of Liming Influenced By Soil texture-more Clay, More Lime Rate of N fertilization-increase N, decrease ph Rate of crop removal of Ca and Mg Amount of lime applied Quality of lime applied Soil buffer capacity-cec-clay Tillage Desired ph range
21 Lime Is Calcium Carbonate- CaCO 3 It is Not the Ca That Corrects ph, but CO3
22 Slides showing Ca bumping off H
23 How Much Lime To We Need To Add? Depends Upon The Cation Exchange Capacity
24 Alfisols Formed Under Forest, Mollisols Under Prairie
25 Alfisols and Mollisols
26 ph is Then Like Air Pressure in Your Tire-It Doesn t Tell You How Much Hydrogen Is In the Soil
27 Greater Clay Content=Higher Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)
28 Soil Test Measure How Many Hydrogen Molecules are Attached to the Clay Particles Nuetralizable Acidity Buffer ph
29 Soil Test Reports Show You How Much Lime To Use
30 What Is ENM-Effective Neutralizable Material? Effective Calcium Carbonate? Lime is CaCO 3 But is it pure? What is the size of the particles?
31 Effective Calcium Carbonate Equivalent-Based Upon Fineness
32 Fineness of Lime Scale-Pell Lime
33 Particle Size Makes a Difference How Fast lime Reacts
34 Your State Will Have Different Measurement For Lime Quality Essentially All Based Upon Quality of Lime and Fineness
35 Agriculture Lime vs Pell Lime Pell Lime-Dust with a sticker agent Very Quick Change in ph, Available Calcium May Have To Apply More Often Ag Lime Can Take 18 months to get desired ph Long Lasting Due to Various Sized Material
36 Lime Vs Gypsum or Calcium Sulfate
37 Rules of Thumb For Gardens ph
38 Lowering the ph? Sulfur ph =1.5 x =15.5 lb S/1000 ft2
39 Calcium and ph Can You Have a Calcium Deficiency and High ph?
40 Calcium Deficiency
41 How Does Calcium Move in the Plant? Through the Water Stream-One Direction
42 Symptoms Are on New Growth Areas
43 Also Black Heart In Potato
44 What is This?
45 The Cure? Calcium Nitrate along the row during fruit set
46 Let s Look At Some Soil Tests and Principles
47
48
49 What Does Calcium Do In the Soil?
50 Calcium Influence on Soil Structure Soil Structure The grouping or arrangement of individual soil properties into a larger grouping. (Also called aggregate, ped) Formation of Soil Structure Flocculation: Bringing the particles close together, enhanced by polyvalent cations (Al+++, Ca++, etc.). Mg is not as good as Ca in flocculation. Stabilization: Providing durability to maintain the arrangement. Some clay; organic matter; oxides of Fe and Al.

52 Aggregate Stability: Interaction of Soil Microbes, Clay, Ca, and Humus From Muneer and Oades, 1989
53 Aggregate Stability:Interaction with Ca, Humus, Clay From Muneer and Oades, 1989
54 Aggregate Stability-How Quick Can it Change? Water Aggregate Stability After Two Years Rotation Corn/Soybean Corn/rye/Soybean/rye Corn/rye/Soybean/hairy vetch Corn/rye/Soybean/HV+rye Water Aggregate Stability (g/g) 38 b 41 a 43 a 44 a Letters indicate significant difference at the 0.10 probability level From Villamil, et al., 2006
55 Change In Aggregate Stability After 3 Years of Calcium Treatments Treatment percent N only 31.0 b NPKS and Calcium 33.3 a NPKS only 30.4 b NPKS, no Calcium, Mg instead 25.1 c No P, K and Ca- Micros Only 30.5 b NPK only 28.7 bc Different Letters Indicate Significance at the 0.05 probability Level
56 Influence of Structure on Water Movement Granular Prismatic Blocky Platey Flocculated by Ca Restricted Enhanced by OM Movement
57 Soils with poor aggregate stability will crust, damaging emerging seedlings and increasing runoff Water Infiltration Good infiltration allows for less runoff and erosion
58 Adding Calcium Also Increased the Biological Activity Treatment Mycorr. Fungi Control Calcium 4219* 3135*
59 59 Phosphorus ph Potassium Calcium Chemical Electrical Conductivity Organic Matter Mineralizable Nitrogen Active C Microbial Biomass C Biological Glucosidase Physical Bulk Density Water- Filled Pore Space Aggregation
