CEC = 25 meq / 100 g soil ( Soil result after soil analysis)

= 2.5 cmol / kg soil


K+ = 8 meq / 100 g soil = ________ kg/ha Area = 10,000 m2
Given : 1 m = 100 cm
BD = 1.35 g/ cm3 1 m3 = 1,000,000 cm3
Furrow hectare slice soil (depth of soil ) = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Steps:
1. Volume of soil = L x w x height (depth)
= Area x height (depth)
= 10,000 m2 x 0.25 m
= 2,500 m3
2. Density = Mass of the soil = Mass of the soil = BD x Vol of soil
Volume of soil = 1.35 g /cm3 x 1,000,000cm3 x 2,500 m3
2. Density = Mass of the soil = Mass of the soil = Bulk density x Vol of soil
Volume of soil = 1.35 g /cm3 x 1,000,000cm3 x 1kg x 2,500 m3
• m3 1,000 g
Mass of the soil = 3,375,000 kg soil

3. K+ = 8 meq / 100 g soil


= _____grams / 100 g soil K+ Meq = at weight (g) = 39 g___ = 0.039 g/meq
= 8 meq /100 g x 0.039 g/ meq = 0. 312 g/100 g soil valence x 1,000 1 x 1,000

4. K+ = 0.312 g = __?___
100 g soil 3,375,000 kg soil

= X = (0.312 x 3,375,000 kg soil)


100
= K+ = 10,530 kg /ha (K+ is high and sufficient for the need of the plants)
= no need to fertilize the soil with potassium contg fert.
Based from the given, compute the following :

• Ca2+ = 2.3 meq/100 g soil = ______kg/ha


• Mg2+ = 1.56 meq / 100 g soil = ______ kg/ha
• NH4+ = 2.07 meq / 100 g soil = ______ kg/ha
▪ H+ = 2.12 meq /100 g
• Na+ = 0.056 cmol / kg soil = ____ meq/100 g soil
• Fe+++ = 0.013 cmol/kg = _____ meq / 100 g soil
=======================
Total CEC =
% Base Saturation =
What is the possible pH of the soil?

Given:
• FHS = 28 cm
• BD = 1.25 g/cm3
