Soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) measures the capability of soils to hold and release nutrients. It is an important measure for classifying planning nutrient additions, but it not included in routine soil tests offered farmers. In this study, we compared CEC measured with standard laboratory practices (neutral ammonium acetate [AAc]) estimated from agronomic test data (Mehlich-3 AAc). We app...

realizing the difficulties involved in direct measurement of soil properties, in recent years, alternative methods have been employed. in the present research, soil texture, organic carbon, saturation percentage and lime as readily measurable parameters, wilting point, field capacity, cation exchange capacity as well as bulk density, as predicted variables were evaluated. the data set was then ...
