Abstract
Decreasing soil pH, also called soil acidification, is a growing concern in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Researchers and farmers have measured soil pH values below 5.0 throughout the Palouse region, in particular. Decreasing soil pH has serious implications for the cropping systems of the Palouse. This publication discusses how decreasing soil pH contributes to increased instances of herbicide persistence. The publication categorizes commonly used herbicides as either a weak acid, weak base, cationic, nonionic polar, or nonpolar and briefly explains how the soil/herbicide interactions within each category can be affected by pH.
