Soil pH and its influence on nutrient availability and plant health

Abstract

Soil pH is a critical parameter that influences nutrient availability and plant health. This review explores the mechanisms by which soil pH affects nutrient solubility and uptake, the optimal pH ranges for various crops, and strategies for managing soil pH to enhance agricultural productivity. Emphasizing the importance of maintaining appropriate soil pH levels, the review synthesizes current research findings and proposes practical solutions for farmers to optimize soil conditions for plant growth.
