Why Soils Turn Sour: Formation and Chemistry of Acidic Soils
Abstract
Have you ever seen a field where the crops look weak and stunted, even though the farmer applied fertiliser on time? Or have you ever wondered why tea gardens do so well on misty hills while crops like wheat and pulses have a hard time growing in the same kind of soil? The answer is often not in the seeds or fertilisers, but in the soil's secret chemistry.
