Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book probes the causes of, and potential solutions for, soil acidity in Puerto Rico. The author, an esteemed scientist, examines the extent of soil acidity on the island and its impact on agricultural production. By comparing the intensity of butyric fermentation in different soils, the author develops a method to measure the relative content of the harmful butyric ferment in soils. The author also examines the presence and relative amounts of the beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria Azotobacter in different soils. By comparing limed and unlimed soils, which have varying levels of acidity, the author demonstrates that liming acid soils has a positive effect on the growth of Azotobacter, and thus the soil's nitrogen-fixing capacity. This work provides valuable insights into the factors that affect soil acidity and the potential for improving soil conditions for agricultural purposes.
