Product Description

What is soil pH?

Soil pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a soil. Soil pH is considered a master variable in soils as it affects many chemical processes. It specifically affects plant nutrient availability by controlling the chemical forms of the different nutrients and influencing the chemical reactions they undergo. The optimum pH range for most plants is between 5.5 and 7.5.

The Impact of Soil pH on Soil Microorganisms:

Soil pH plays a pivotal role in influencing the types and abundance of soil microorganisms. In acidic soils, certain acidophilic microorganisms thrive, whereas in alkaline soils, alkaliphilic microorganisms become more prominent. The diversity and quantity of these microorganisms significantly affect the transformation and supply of soil nutrients, consequently influencing the growth and development of plants.

Soil pH Affects Plant Nutrient Absorption:

In acidic soils, some mineral elements such as phosphorus and iron may become unavailable, while in alkaline soils, certain trace elements like magnesium and calcium might become less accessible. Therefore, maintaining an appropriate pH level is crucial to ensure plants achieve a balanced absorption of various nutritional elements.

Soil pH Influences Plant Root Development:

In acidic soils, plant roots may be susceptible to aluminum toxicity, while in alkaline soils, the absorption capacity of roots may decrease. Thus, maintaining an optimal pH level promotes the healthy growth of roots and enhances the plant’s resistance to environmental stressors.

Step 1: Collect a representative soil sample

Use a garden spade to dig a small hole (approximately 15 cm deep) and gather the soil sample from around the hole. Place this sample in a container. Repeat this process three times or more across your garden site. Thoroughly mix these soil samples and remove any stones, grass, etc.

Step 2: Prepare soil-water solution

Putting the mixed soil sample into centrifuge tube, to 20ml scale, add distilled water (or purified / pure water, not mineral water) until the liquid level reaches 40ml scale. Close the lid of centrifuge tube, then shake the tube 30 seconds, make the soil sample & distilled water(or purified / pure water, not mineral water) mixing well. Set aside and let stand for 30-60 minutes, or longer, until the supernatant (soil water solution) is obtained.

Step 3: Use the pH test strips

Place 1-2 pieces of pH test strips flat, draw up a small amount of soil-water solution using a dropper, and dispense one drop on each color pad of the pH test strip. Allow approximately 2-4 minutes for the pH test strip to fully react with the soil-water solution.

Step 4: Match color pads to color chart

Depending on the soil pH, one or two color pads will undergo a color change. Compare the resulting color(s) with the color chart provided with the pH test strips to determine the pH value of your soil.
