Description

Soil pH balancing is crucial for the proper growth of plants and maintaining living soil. Soil pH is used to determine whether the soil is acidic or alkaline. Soil pH ranges from 0 to 14. Reaching a pH value of 7 is maintaining the pH neutrality of the soil. The soil becomes acidic as it drops below pH7. When the soil becomes acidic, the manure in the soil dissolves in the water, destroying all the edible microorganisms and stunting the growth of the plants. Microbes thrive and this seriously affects agriculture. Due to the low pH of rainwater, and the low pH of chemical fertilizers being used it is impossible to maintain the pH neutrality of the soil. As the pH of the soil decreases for several reasons, a cultivator needs to balance the pH to maintain the soil alive and also keep the plants healthy and produce a good yield. A pH between 6.5 and 7.5 is recommended for most crops. Traditionally, farmers have been adding lime or calcium oxide to the soil to increase the pH of the soil. Therefore, the main disadvantage is the rapid rise in pH which is not good for the crop. In addition, farmers today are reluctant to apply lime as it is not possible to fertilize the soil for more than 30 days and the microorganisms in the soil are lost. Thus the Lion Brand pH Stabilizer is important in this context.
