    Solution

    Passive acidity: Soil acidity that is not immediately active but can become active over time. Active acidity: The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the soil solution that is immediately available to affect plant growth. Total acidity: The sum of both active and exchangeable acidity in the soil. Exchangeable acidity:The portion of soil acidity held on cation exchange sites and reversible through soil treatments.
