Title: CHANGES IN SOIL REACTION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MINERAL FERTILIZATION
Abstract: The aim of our research was to assess the impact of some chemical fertilizers on the acidity of the soil. Soil reaction, or pH, is an important agrochemical indicator of the growth medium, since it defines the conditions of bioavailabilit y of nutritive elements for the plantswell as nutritional relationships. Following the large use of chemical fertilizers in the agricultural practice, as well as the acidification phenomenon signalled in the scientific literature, we tested the influen ce of a complex fertilizer type(15:15:15)and of ammonium nitrate on soil pH. Both types of fertilizers are highly used in everyday practice. The soil the research was made on is a slightly gleized cambic chernozem found in Banat area, more specifically at Timi�� oara Didactic Station. Complex fertilizers were applied in three doses ensuring 50, 100and 150 kg Nactive substance/ ha. The nitrogen in the complex fertilizers was nitric
