What is SOIL PH and its agricultural importance to crop production
The meaning of soil pH
The world ph (pondus de Hydronium) the hydronium is defined as a measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil. Soil pH can also be known as a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions present in the soil
A higher hydrogen ion concentration indicates soil acidity while a lower concentration of hydrogen present in the soil indicates oil alkalinity
What do we mean by the pH scale?
A typical pH scale is graduated from 1 to 14 and has been developed to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil.
Soil pH below 7 is said to be acidic and above 7 in the pH scale is alkaline while 7 itself is neutral.

From the above image of pH scale that we just suck up there we can deduce that
pH 2 is strongly acidic
pH 6 is slightly acidic
pH 7 is neutral
pH 8 is strongly alkaline
pH 13 is slightly alkaline
