Summary

Four calcareous Arizona soils were treated with sulfuric acid applied to varying degrees of saturation of the acid titratable basicity of the soils. At less than 100% saturation there was a significant increase in water soluble Mn and in DTPA extractable Fe and Mn compared with untreated soil. Only when the acid treatment exceeded 100% ATB did a significant increase occur in the water soluble forms of Fe and Zn. The amounts of the Fe and Zn extracted increased with the rate of application and with time of soil/acid contact at the higher level of acidification.
