Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "They are commonly applied to help reduce the soil pH for acid-loving plants" does not accurately describe aluminum hydroxy ions in the soil. While aluminum hydroxy ions do influence the pH of the soil solution through hydrolysis, block negative sites on some clays, and influence the swelling of some clays, they are not commonly applied to reduce soil pH. Instead, materials such as sulfur or acidifying fertilizers are commonly used for this purpose.
