We've heard a lot of questions about cation exchange capacity, base saturation and what that means for N and K applications. Dan Kaiser, Carl Rosen, Brad Carlson and Fabian Fernandez talk about what they're hearing on this episode of the podcast.
We cover:
- What cation exchange capacity (CEC) is
- How it's measured
- Why it's important
- The link between CEC and the amount of nitrogen or potassium a soil can hold
- The link between base saturation and CEC
