Recently it has been stated that rock phosphate functions in reducing the lime needs of acid soils, but no definite information is available on the subject. The work reported here was begun to secure data on the value of phosphate fertilizers in supplying the calcium requirements of crops grown on acid soils and in neutralizing soil acidity, and this paper presents preliminary results obtained in the study. While no definite conclusions can be drawn, it is believed that a progress report may stimulate interest in the subject.
