Abstract
MANY acid soils are known to contain exchangeable aluminium, but no satisfactory quantitative method for its determination has hitherto been available. This has proved to be a handicap in investigations of the degree of saturation with metal cations, suspected toxicity of adsorbed aluminium to crop plants as well as other soil properties influenced by exchangeable aluminium.
