Soil Acidity
Soil acidification is a natural process that accelerates dramatically in areas with productive agricultural. The pH scale indicates whereas the soil is alkaline or acidic - as the concentration of hydronium cations (H+) in the soil increases, the pH lowers and the soil acidity rises. Limestone contributes to the soil buffering ability and therefore has a neutralizing effect on the pH level. Yet, in areas where the soil is poor in limestone, the acidification occurs rapidly. read more...
How to Manage Soil Fertility
From an agricultural point of view, a fertile soil is one that can provide adequate amounts of nutrients for plant growth. This results in better crop yields and quality. Factors Affecting Soil Fertility – What Makes a Soil Fertile? read more...

Potassium in Soil
The basis for the above classification is the availability of potassium to plants. Depending on the type of soil and environmental conditions, potassium availability may vary. read more...
How to Prevent and Manage Soil Salinity
There are various practices that you can apply, in order to prevent soil salinity or manage salinity problems once they already occur. read more...
Soil Salinity
The salinity of soil refers to the amount of salts in the soil and it can be estimated by measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) of an extracted soil solution. read more...
How to Raise Soil pH
Many growers face a problem of a low pH of their soil or growing media. Some soils are acidic by nature and, in other cases, low pH is the result of prolonged and intensive fertilization and irrigation. read more...
