Soil Type and d Mineralogy

Lime reacts most effectively wigh clay minerals that have high silica and alumina content. Montmorillonice (bentonite) and kaolinite clays generally respond well, whereas soils with high organic content (above 2%), sulfates, or large compatis of silt may show less improwitement.
