Summary A comparison of the various indices of calcium availability and degree of dispersion of the soils showed that Mehlich's 1.0 me H method may be a good index of calcium availability for a particular group of soils, but the modified calcium-release value of the exchangeable phase was a superior index when a more diversified group of soils was involved. The type of the clay, cation-exchange capacity, organic matter content,etc. were the most likely factors to influence the choice of the method. The indices based on exchangeable ions were superior to those based on ion concentration in solution for predicting the dispersability of the soil.
