Understanding Soil pH

Soil pH is a measure of soil acidity or alkalinity, which affects nutrient availability and plant growth.

The pH Scale in Soil
  • Acidic Soil (pH < 7) - Common in high rainfall areas, affects nutrient availability.
  • Neutral Soil (pH 7) - Optimal for most plants, balanced nutrient availability.
  • Alkaline Soil (pH > 7) - Common in arid regions, can limit certain nutrients.
  • Optimal Range - Most crops prefer pH between 6.0 and 7.5.
