Calculate Liming Requirements. You have a soil sample with a CEC of 10 meq / 100 g soil, a pH of 4.8 and a BS of 37%. You would like to raise this soil to a pH of 6.5, so you need to raise the BS to 65%. You also have a Mg deficiency. Assume 93% purity of your liming agent. During screening of a 100g sample, you had 1.5 g on the 8-mesh screen, and 13.4 g on the 60-mesh screen. Choose the appropriate liming agent and calculate CCE, ECCE, and the tons of lime you need to apply to your 100 acre field.

A soil has the following properties: pH 8.6; ESP = 18%; CEC = 25 meq/100g; CaCO3 = 2%. (Question 32, Chapter 3 in text), acre furrow slice (afs) = 2 x 106 lbs. soil. a. Calculate the SAR b. A test lab recommended 4,300 lbs gypsum/afs. Calculate the final ESP if the grower followed the recommendation. c. If the grower added elemental S instead of gypsum, calculate the final CaCO3 content

Suppose you have a sample of with 100 mCi of 82Sr. When will the activity of 82Rb reach over 99% of the activity of 82Sr? min You currently have 7 submissions for this question. Only 10 submission are allowed. You can make 3 more submissions for this question. Help: Since the daugther's half-life is much smaller than the parent's half-life, the daugther reaches the parent's activity only asymptotically over several half-lives. Activity of daugther after n half-lives = (1/2)n. You...

I want to measure the amount of Lead Pb in a soil sample ? I have done all the digestion calculation and procedures and I used only 2 grams of soil . The instrument data gave me the following concentrations : Sample of soil 1= 2.06 ug/L Sample of soil 2= -1.18 ug/L So how much Lead in one gram of soil? How I know if it's high and above the limit of allowed conimination !?

You collected a sample of soil from your backyard to use for as a source of inoculum for your isolate project, and want to use plating technique to determine the number of microbes present. Based on what you know about microbial cell counts in soil environments, you estimate that there might be up to 1010 cells per g of soil, but that in many soil samples only a small fraction (0.1-1%) of cells are typically able to be cultured on...
