Subject: How is base saturation factored in on a soil test?


South Central Illinois

Base saturation is a factor, a percentage of 100%
Five ions total to the 100%
Unless the soil lab does not recognize sodium,
Then it is four ions that at total up to 100%
Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Hydrogen, Sodium.
If I have a base saturation that recognizes the first four, how can I add in the sodium into that saturation?
I have the pounds per acre of sodium.
Is there more to it than just adding pounds per acre of sodium?
Are, Base Saturation and Cation Exchange Capacity, both in the same realm?
