PZSE: Analytical-computational approach to its determination from potentiometric titration dataThe point of zero salt effect (PZSE) of soil samples is usually determined by a graphic method where the PZSE corresponds to the pH value observed at the crossing point of drafted potentiometric titration curves. Although the use of graphic software decreases the personal bias that normally occurs when the titration curves are drafted by hand, this determination method can be time-consuming when there is a great number of soil samples. The present work aimed to develop a software to permit rapid and non-subjective determination of the PZSE of soil samples as well as to evaluate the precision of calculated values. By a comparison of the program calculated values with those presented in the consulted studies, obtained by authors using the conventional graphic method, the proposed computational analytic method proved to be adequate for the purposes above mentioned.
