A rapid method for determining the base‐exchange capacity of soils is described, using a cupric acetate‐acetic acid reagent. The method is applicable to unsaturated and calcareous soils; it gives results very similar to those obtained by the ammonium acetate method, and takes only a fraction of the time.
