KTK
Kejenuhan Basa
• Kation basa merupakan hara yang diperlukan
tanaman, tanah subur KB tinggi (karena
kation basa tidak banyak tercuci)
• KB terkait erat dengan pH tanah, tanah masam
KB lebih rendah dibanding tanah alkalis.
• Pada tanah KB rendah komplek jerapan banyak
disi Al3+ dan H+ (basa), terutama Al3+, racun
bagi tanaman kasus tanah-tanah masam di
Indonesia
