A soil’s ability to react with positively charged molecules is called it’s cation exchange capacity (CEC). The higher the CEC, the higher the negative charge of the soil and the more cations that can be held.
The most common soil cations are: calcium, magnesium, potassium, ammonium, hydrogen and sodium.

Generally soils with more clay silt and organic matter have a higher CEC and the CEC decreases with increased sand content.
The most basic thing to remember is CEC indicates how well your soil will hold onto anything, including nutrients and water.

Below are some practical implications of your soil’s Cation Exchange Capacity:

Low CEC soils need quick but frequent watering, while high CEC soils need slow water applied less often.

When applying fertilizers and soil conditioners to low CEC soil, it is best to apply a little at a time to avoid the risk of leaching them through the soil and into ground water.

When applying nutrients to high CEC soils it is best to incorporate them, if they are placed on the surface they are more prone to run-off due to the slow infiltration rate.

The lower the CEC of a soil, the faster the soil pH will decrease with time.
Soils with a low CEC are more likely to develop deficiencies in calcium, potassium & magnesium.

Because they are resistant to leaching, high-CEC soils generally do not need to be limed as frequently as low-CEC soils; but when they do become acid and require liming, higher lime rates are needed to reach optimum pH.


It only a reliable soil fertility testing that can reveal the CEC value of your farm soil. The implication of this is that to make a concise and logical decision on your farm crop/soil management, you need to have adequate knowledge of the farm soil fertility

What a society of madness

Let help you do a physical examination of your soil or help test for your soil fertility b4 yu invest in that farm land. All the environmental and Biological factors farmers are contending with this days, it will be erroneous for you to invest in the farm land without a knowledge of the land History or a knowledge of the soil fertility.

What it will cost you to have a full knowledge of the farm soil is not up to 2% of what you will lose in your investment if you do not have a knowledge if the farm History/fertility

Invest wisely today!!!!!

With the climate change together with global warming, it is technically obvious the rain fall pattern has totally changed to the direction not favourable to farmers in any way.

If you are a farmer that depends on rain water as your source if water for your crop, you will observe what we call "August Break" is almost going into extinction. Last season and this season, we did not feel the impact of "August Break"

Last season, some of the farm I consult for had similar challenge in respect to poor yield which obviously was attributed to poor rain fall. The set back the lack of rain caused and may cause again this season is enormous.

Base on this, kenfarm strongly advise commercial farmers and potential farmers to include irrigation installations in their budget as the present rain fall pattern is becoming irregular.

How is the rain fall pattern around your farm area??

Good 2 c we have moved on

Are yu aware that the type of spacing you adopt when planting your sucker is base on how good yur soil fertility is. Where yur soil is lacking lot of NPK then spacing out will be a huge advantage to your crop.

Also the type of crop that has been cultivated on the farm land before yu acquire the farm land can give a clue to the level of fertility of the soil. This means if a crop known to be heavy feeder has been cultivated on that farmland for over 6yrs back2back without practising shifting cultivation, then we can assure yur it paramount yu test for level of nutrient left in the soil before planting

Cheers!!
