Abstract
A KNOWLEDGE of the speeds at which ions diffuse in soils is of both basic and agronomic importance, but the development of accurate methods for the measurement of diffusion coefficients has received little attention. During an investigation of the factors controlling the rate of diffusion, the following method has been evolved.
