Abstract

The Rothamsted Park Grass and Woburn Barley soils are almost all acid. Ammonium sulphate has caused a considerable increase in acidity, and sodium nitrate a slight decrease. Mineral manures have but little effect, and potassium sulphate has slightly increased trie acidity of the subsoil below the more acid plots. There is some evidence that the pH value 3·8 represents a maximum acidity in the Rothamsted soil. The change in pH value as a result of liming is less than that shown in the laboratory, owing in part to the subsoil acidity.
