Question

Explain the importance of pH in soil​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Soil pH is important because it influences several soil factors affecting plant growth, such as (1) soil bacteria, (2) nutrient leaching, (3) nutrient availability, (4) toxic elements, and (5) soil structure. ... Plant nutrients are generally most available to plants in the pH range 5.5 to 6.5.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The relative acidity or alkalinity of soil is indicated by its pH. ... A pH of 7 indicates a neutral soil. The pH is important because it influences the availability of essential nutrients. Most horticultural crops will grow satisfactorily in soils having a pH between 6 (slightly acid) and 7.5 (slightly alkaline).
