9. The Degradation Spiral Poor land management Soil organic matter loss Compaction and crusting Aggregate breakdown Wind and water erosion Plant yield reduced Soil biological activity declines

11. Alkaline Soils: Helps toxic salts leach out of the root zone. Acidic Soils: Provides usable Calcium to soil. Cal-SO 100 is made from a neutral salt, however it will neutralize soil acidity caused by exchangeable Al + .

13. Clay suspension added to funnels. Time = 0 minutes. Facilitates water movement through soils
14. Filtrates after Na + , Mg 2+ , and Ca 2+ added. Time = 15 min Na + Mg 2+ Ca 2+ 3 drops
