The NH4OAc (pH7.0),leaching and shaking,BaCI2-TEA (pH8.2) and the Gillman compulsive exchange methods for the determination of cation exchange capacity (CEC) were evaluated. It was found that the NH4OAc (pH7.0),leaching and shaking methods gave comparable CEC values for most of the soils used. Of th...
