ph

Did you know that soil pH is the critical factor in plant and soil health. Soil pH strongly influences soil productivity; it affects a large range of soil functions such as nutrient uptake, soil microbial activity, pesticide efficacy, the ability of legumes to fix nitrogen, and disease susceptibility. Understanding why this happens is an important tool in managing the issue. And knowing chemistry of the soil pH helps to understand some of the soil reactions...For optimal production, ensure the soil pH is always within 6.0 to 7.5.when the soil pH is too acidic phosphorous becomes unavailable for the crop leading to stunted growth..when the soil is too alkaline micronutrients like zinc ,iron , manganese become unavailable for the crop .
