Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Strongly acid Norfolk subsoil reduced cotton yield.
- Intervention effect Strongly acid Norfolk subsoil no detrimental effect peanut yield.
- Observation Cotton roots were unable to penetrate in the most acid subsoil.
- Observation peanut roots were undaunted in the most acid subsoil.
- Intervention effect Acid Norfolk and Greenville soils almost completely inhibited cotton root‐growth in growth chambers.
- Observation Cotton roots created a more acid root environment than peanut roots.
- Observation Peanuts showed greater preferential absorption of lower valency ions over higher valency ions.
- Mechanism Acidification of the root environment and preferential ion absorption could explain peanut tolerance of low soil pH.
