Soil pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of soils, typically on a scale from 0 to 14, and is a key factor influencing nutrient availability, microbial activity, and overall soil health. Understanding pH is essential for soil management, crop selection, and sustainable land use practices.
Applied Relevance
Soil pH directly impacts nutrient solubility, fertilizer efficiency, and plant growth. Acidic soils may limit essential nutrients like phosphorus, while alkaline soils can reduce the availability of micronutrients such as iron and zinc. Managing soil pH is crucial for optimizing agricultural productivity, guiding liming practices, and assessing land suitability for different crops and vegetation.
