Question

Which pH values of the soils are not favourable for growth of plants?

Answer 1

Answer:

Plant nutrients leach out of soils with a pH below 5.0 much more rapidly than from soils with values between 5.0 and 7.5. Plant nutrients are generally most available to plants in the pH range 5.5 to 6.5. Aluminum may become toxic to plant growth in certain soils with a pH below 5.0.

Answer 2

Answer:

Plant nutrients leach from the soil much faster at pH values below 5.5 than from soils within the 5.5 to 7.0 range. In some mineral soils aluminum can be dissolved at pH levels below 5.0 becoming toxic to plant growth.
