Soil pH – An Important Factor In Crop Production

What is PH ?

Soil pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of soil, which is determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the soil. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with pH 7 being neutral. A pH value less than 7 indicates acidic soil, while a pH value greater than 7 indicates alkaline or basic soil

Importance of soil pH:

Soil pH influences the availability of nutrients to plants and maintaining the optimal pH range for a given crop.
Adjusting soil pH to the optimal range can improve fertilizer use efficiency by ensuring that nutrients are available in a form that plants can use.

Important points :-If soil ph is not sufficient or perfect according to the cultivated crops and vegetables then the crops and vegetables may suffer from many disease attacks and plant will not be well developed. 

How to measure soil pH?

Soil pH can be measured using pH meter or by sending the soil samples to a soil testing laboratory for analysis.

Importance Of Silicon fertilizer In Agriculture

  Benefits of silicon | beneficial effects of silicon (si) in agricultural crops :- WATCH NOW Leaf erectness :- Silicon give cell wall rigidity and Max Live erect due to this sunlight reaches all areas to the plant that make them to do more photosynthesis properly that's make more growth and higher yield.  Counteracts negative effect of high nitrogen supply :- Silicon contracts negative effect of high nitrogen supply, due to high nitrogen application there is high vegetative growth of plants and plant becomes very heavy then plant lodging occurs ( mainly in rice) and also disease and pest attack becomes high when nitrogen fertilizer ( mainly urea) are high, so silicon stops the uptake of nitrogen when there is no need in plant. Resistance to disease and pest:-  1.Produse more Lignin so that fungal infections are less.  2. Make a very thin Silicon layer into the leaf epidermal cell so that leaves become harder and pest can't sucks the SAP through injecting their mouth...
