DANGER
May be corrosive to metals.
Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
Soil pH affects the amount of nutrients and chemicals that are soluble in soil water, and therefore the amount of nutrients available to plants. Some nutrients are more available under acid conditions while others are more available under alkaline conditions.
However, most mineral nutrients are readily available to plants when soil pH is near neutral.
The development of strongly acidic soils (less than 5.5 pH) can result in poor plant growth as a result of one or more of the following factors:
- aluminum toxicity
- manganese toxicity
- calcium deficiency
- magnesium deficiency
- low levels of essential plant nutrients such as phosphorus and molybdenum.
Alkaline soils may have problems with deficiencies of nutrients such as zinc, copper, boron and manganese. Soils with an extremely alkaline pH (greater than 9) are likely to have high levels of sodium.
The correct balance is where the soil pH is between 5.5 and 7.5, so every effort should be taken to check soil levels regularly. Early identification of soil pH problems is important as it can be both costly and difficult to correct long-term nutrient deficiencies.
