Soil Test Interpretation - Waypoint Analytical
www.waypointanalytical.comMuch depends on good soil management. An accurate CEC of calcareous, saline or sodic soils should only be performed with cation replacement. A calculated CEC will typically be inflated with these soil types. CATION SATURATION Cation saturation refers to the
Inherent Factors Affecting Soil Infiltration
www.nrcs.usda.govManagement practices such as use of no-till cropping systems and use of high residue crops and cover crops can improve infiltration by increasing the soil organic matter content. Inherent Factors Affecting Soil Infiltration Soil texture, or the percentage of sand, silt, and clay in a soil, is the major inherent factor affecting infiltration.
