Though dare an: high pH (=Ika-
line) soils i~ most parts of the state,
alkaline sotZs lend tube mum common
in the central and western regions of
Kansas. Th~s high pH suits can cause
problems for plants by reducing the
avaitabiiity of cemdn microautriems.
For example, most Kansas soils have
more tkan adequate amounts of iron.
However, ahigh soil pH can make iron
unavailable to the #ant, resulting i, a
condition known as ironchlomsis. Iron
chiantis reduces the health of#ants
byredacing #mtosynthe.sis. Lowering
the pH of such soils will reduce the
occun'encc iron chZomsis.
Now would be a good time to have
a sail test done to see if your FH is too
high. If so, sulfur can be added eidler
now or in the s~iag to lower the pH.
Different textures of soil require rill-
fare-at amounts. A sandy soil needs
seven poun~ ofsul flu'per I.(YJO square
feet m reduce pI-I one ~N3irl.[. A loam
soil needs I I poandsand ciay r, eeds I?
pou.nd.q to do dzc same. For exampZe, if
you wished to lower pH from 8 5 In 6.5
on a toam soil. you would need 22
pounds of sulfur per 1.003 square feet.
However. the m~al ammmt of suffur
needs 1o be spread ouzover l',vo 0r th.r,"e~
applications.
So what pH do we shoot for? For
most plants, a pH between 6-0 and ZO
is prefen- d. U~formnate|y.addLng so|.
fur ~o lower pH is not as clear-cut a
~t]mion a ~ we would like. Here are
santa other factors to keep in mind.
F~eeculcium carbonate: Some soi~s
have free caleiun'= carbonate, actual
panicles of limestone mi~ed in the
~ii. The~"ca|careo~+'soils normally
have a pH of?.3 to 8.5, with 8.2 to 8.3
being most common, In order for us to
lower tl'~ pH wi~ sulfur, all Rue cal-
cium earlmnate mast be neutralized
first.
Not all high pH soils ate calca.~r-
ous= Perform this simple test to see if
your soil con hains appreciable amounts
of free lime. Apply om~ drop of vinegar
to dry soil. A vigorous fizz ~ua[ly
mezas tk soil contains at least
percent calcium ~a**'bonale. Amildfizz
suggests a calcium carbo~a~ of be-
tw cn one and two percent and a fizz
that can onty be heard suggests the soil
has a calcium carbonate c~nlenl less
than one percent.
How sulfur works" E'~cmental sub
fur does not lower pH directly~ It must
firm be oxidiz~ed m the sulfate form
with the result being sulfuric acid.The
sulfuric acid produces hydrogen, which
acidifies the ,a~il and lowers pH. The
ox idati~n takes p+acelmmarily through
microbial activity.
Oxidation takes time: Microbial
ox ida~itm oFelemental sulfur rakes ti rue
and depends on: number of sulFur ogi-
di].ing bacteria present; temperature
(75- 1114 degas optimum): moistt,~
c~ntent of <,oil (too wet nr too dry will
slow dt~wn the processh and xize of
sulh~r panicles I the smaller the hatter 1.
A ~Lngle s,d fur application n,vmaliy

This. of court, d~ft.~llds on the above
fau'tt~. So, ~hat do you do about cal-
carrx i-~ ~*i;x? That depends or~ the
situathm With vegetable gardens and
annual fh~ rbeds, work the sulfur
products into the soil during I he lime of
year when there axe no plam.~ present.
Mi~ one to two pounds of sulfur per
I(gt square feet into tl~e soil in the Fall,
