Evaluation of an Arid Soil Conditioner in an Irrigated Cotton Production System

A single field study was conducted on a sodium-affected soil at the University of Arizona’s Maricopa Agricultural Center (MAC) in 1999. Deltapine DP33B was dry planted and watered-up on 13 April 1999. Two treatments were evaluated; treatment 1 received no acid and treatment 2 received water-run acid applications. The acid used in this evaluation was sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and was applied at approximately 11 gallons acid/acre at each scheduled irrigation throughout the entire growing season. All other agronomic inputs and decisions were uniformly applied to both treatments. Lint yields were not significantly different.
