Effects of low pH and AI on growth and nutrient uptake of several plants

Abstract

Soil acidity is major constraint on growth for crops in many parts of the world. Acid soil toxicity is not a single factor, but a complex of factors that may affect the growth of a given plant. Al and H+toxicity, low nutrient availability and inhibition in nutrient uptake are generally considered to be major growth constraint in the soil acidity complex. © 1995 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
