Soil pH and its impact on nutrient availability and crop growth
Author(s): Dr. Siobhán O' Kennedy
Abstract: Soil pH is a critical factor influencing nutrient availability and crop growth. This review synthesizes existing research on the effects of soil pH on nutrient dynamics and plant health. The paper discusses the chemical processes that govern nutrient availability in soils with varying pH levels, the optimal pH ranges for different crops, and the methods for managing soil pH to improve agricultural productivity. Additionally, it explores the impact of soil pH on microbial activity and its indirect effects on nutrient cycling. The review highlights the importance of soil pH management in sustainable agriculture and identifies future research directions to address gaps in knowledge.
