Changes in chemical properties and growth of corn in volcanic soils treated with peat, ground basalt pyroclastics, and calcium silicate

Volcanic ash-derived soils have high pHo and very low cation exchange capacity attributed to their highly reactive colloidal constituents, the short-range-order minerals. Fertility is in doubt unless the effects of positive adsorption sites are masked and the increment of negative charge improved. L...
