Excerpt from Report of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station: For the Biennium Ending June 30, 1932 Investigating the nature of soil acidity in its relation to plant growth. It has been found that aluminum in very low concentra tions may be toxic to plants. Soils from various locations in the state were studied and it was found that in general the more acid ones contained the more soluble aluminum. The use of lime on acid soils takes aluminum out of solution and therefore removes it as a source of plant injury.
