| Incubation of two acid soils with increasing rates of cement and coral sand showed that cement raised soil pH quicker than coral sand. However, provided that equivalent amounts of CaO are used, the long term effects of cement and coral sand on soil pH are identical. Apart from increasing available Si in soils, cement, in the same way as coral sand, improved the Ca status of soils without adversely affecting their available K, P and Mg status. | |
