A Rhizobium strain nodulating cowpeas did not decline in abundance after it was added to sterile soils at pH 6.9 and 4.4, and the numbers fell slowly in nonsterile soils at pH 5.5 and 4.1. A strain of R. phaseoli grew when added to sterile soils at pH 6.7 and 6.9; it maintained large, stable populations in soils of pH 4.4, 5.5, and 6.0, but the numbers fell markedly and then reached a stable po...

In a previous publication ^ the writers reported comparative studies of the effect of calcium hydrate (Ca(0H)2), calcium carbonate (CaCOa), and certain other compounds, when applied to infested soil, upon infection of cabbage by the clubroot organism {Plasmodiophora brassicae Wor.). It was shown that, in well-watered soil in the greenhouse, infection was reduced perceptibly when the reaction of...

In soils of tropical climate regions the high acidity and the presence of exchangeable aluminum (Al), associated to low fertility, are the main restrainting factors for agricultural production. A laboratory experiment was conducted using 26 soils of different Brazilian regions, to investigate soil acidity components, giving emphasis to Al and their relations with chemical properties. The pH cor...
