Combined Use of Calciprill and Sodium Silicate Improves Chemical Properties of Low-pH Soil
Agronomy, 2021 The highly weathered, acidic tropical soils are generally less fertile because of their low pH, high exchangeable acidity, and Al, Fe, and Mn saturations. Using soil amendments to solve the aforementioned problems is essential.

Consecutive soybean (Glycine max) planting and covering improve acidified tea garden soil.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Planting soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in tea gardens decreased soil pH in theory but increased it in practice. This controversy was addressed in this study by treating the tea garden soil consecutively with different parts of a soybean cover crop ...
