pH measures relative acidity or alkalinity of a soil, and reflects the concentration of H+ ions in the soil. The level of soil acidity in cropping systems has a direct affect on nutrient availability and plant growth. The most reliable method of measuring soil pH is in Calcium Chloride.
If the topsoil pH is less than 5.5 you need to check your subsoil pH levels to minimise subsoil acidification.
Choose a Soil Quality indicator from one of the three boxes below to examine grouped data.
In addition to the soil quality data available in the tabs above, you can examine a large pH data set sampled within this area.
