Foliardud - 3/5/2012 00:33 Very good observations, and yes your correct the atomic mass number is very close and you will work one against another, I would believe you will see a K response from your Ca application and vice versa. This would be one of the tricks that 3 – 4 four of my mentors taught and it has worked well!
so soil chemistry is a Trick ? Jeff
so what ( trick ) do you pull when you have a Calcareous soil situation
75% to 80% Calcium Base saturation with a soil PH of 7.6 to 8 ?
2 to 4% Magnesium and a .5% K base saturation %
I certainly would not think pellitized lime would be an option.
