We can quickly see why the yield on Hu's and Dong's farms was so low: low pH! Farmer Yield Average soil (ton ha-1) pH Hu 4.1 Dong 4.2 Zhang 2.8 5.1 Cheng 3.2 5.5 Shen 4.3 6.2

Make sure you use acceptable units, not ones that are out-of-date Recommended/preferred si units and non-SI units that are either discouraged or not acceptable for Plant and soil are included in Instructions for Authors(a Table is sent to authors after an editorial decision) In addition, double prefixes should be avoided, e.g., use ug g-1, rather than mg kg-1 For further information on SI conventions. the following Web site may be helpful http:/physics.nistgov/cuu/index.html
