Changes in soil chemical factors following rainfall and calcium chloride applications

January 19, 2022

As detailed in the Super Journal report, "Changes in soil chemical factors following rainfall and calcium chloride applications" (24 KB pdf document), calcium chloride, when applied during rainfall periods, can have a positive effect on soil quality, especially in high sodium soils (greater than 110 ppm and 6% of the total extractable cations) that also have excessive sulfur (greater than 800 ppm for ryegrass overseeded bermuda fairways). The potential problem of accumulation of chloride in the soil was not an…
