Question

when the soil is base what do we treat​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil acidity is rapidly becoming a problem in our region. Each year more soil samples handled by the Noble Research Institute have or are prone to acidity problems. Acidic soils create production problems by limiting the availability of some essential plant nutrients and increasing that of the soil solution's toxic elements, such as aluminum and manganese, the major cause of poor crop performance and failure in acidic soils. Below soil pH 5.5 (pH is the measurement of soil aciditythe lower the pH, the higher the soil acidity), aluminum may be concentrated enough to limit or stop root development. As a result, plants cannot absorb water and nutrients, are stunted, and exhibit nutrient deficiency symptoms (especially those for phosphorus). Toxic levels of manganese interfere with normal growth processes in the aerial plant parts, which stunts the plant, discolors it, and causes poor yields.

Answer 2

Plants cannot thrive in soil that is either too acidic or too basic. The soil is treated with bases like quicklime (calcium oxide) or slaked lime when it becomes too acidic (calcium hydroxide). Organic matter (compost) is added to the soil if it is too basic. Acids produced by organic matter counteract the soil's basic character.

Explanation: If your soil is alkaline, you can use a variety of products to lower the pH or make it more acidic. Sphagnum peat, elemental sulphur, aluminium sulphate, iron sulphate, acidifying nitrogen, and organic mulches are all examples of these.
