Soil, Fertilizer & WateringWhat does cation exchange capacity mean for mango nutrient management?
Cation exchange capacity describes the soil's ability to hold positively charged ions such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium on exchange surfaces. It is a retention property, not a measurement of how well every nutrient is supplied. Interpret it alongside individual nutrient results when planning applications. A large capacity can still be occupied by an unsuitable balance of ions.
