A Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) initiative is set to come up with plan to come up with one of the major constraints of yields in Australian cropping systems, excessive soil ...

Soil pH or soil reaction is an indication of the acidity or alkalinity of soil and is measured in pH units. Soil pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. The pH scale ...

Small changes in pH levels can affect how well plants are able to reproduce and take up nutrients. These changes can also alter how exposed they are to soluble pollutants such as aluminum. Some plants ...

Many popular landscape and fruit species like blueberries, rhododendrons, and azaleas grow best in moderately acidic soils. It is because low pH improves the availability of iron, manganese, and other ...

Scientists have developed a new simple, inexpensive and fast method to detect and measure very low concentrations of agricultural lime in soils, which is generally a time consuming and difficult ...

Researchers have analyzed the application of waste sludge from a waste water purification plant to acid soils which have limited capacity for neutralizing the acidity. A University of the Basque ...

As most gardeners know, soil is one of the most important factors affecting the overall health and growth of plants. Soil pH, which determines how acidic or alkaline the soil is, is a particular ...

Agricultural lime is an important input for soybeans for several reasons. Lime for soil can neutralize yield-limiting soil acidity. It adds calcium and magnesium and can increase soil pH and produce ...
