Management Strategies to Reduce the Rate of Soil Acidification

G1503
Published 2015

Soil acidification is the net effect of several processes. The rate of soil acidification may be reduced through management. Matching applied nitrogen and sulfur with crop needs may reduce input costs while reducing acidification. Other practices involve choosing less acidifying fertilizers or improving application timing. Such practices may increase input and management costs. When considering changes, these costs need to be weighed against the eventual reduction in cost of lime application.
