A Faster Laboratory Method for Testing Soil Electrical Conductivity Using a Modified Saturation Extract Procedure

A Faster Laboratory Method for Testing Soil Electrical Conductivity Using a Modified Saturation... A standard procedure for preparing a saturation extract was modified to expedite analysis of soil electrical conductivity (EC). Comparison of 56 sets of soil EC analyses by both the modified and traditional saturated paste methods was favorable. Over 90% of the modified-method EC results were within 20% of the results obtained using the traditional saturated paste method. The modified method tended to underestimate soil EC by 4% on average. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis Taylor & Francis
