How to manage acidic land

  • If the soil pH is below 6.5, then this type of soil is called acidic soil.

  • In highly acidic soil, only acid-resistant crops can be planted

  • In the case of more acidic soil, it is necessary to adopt the method of liming.

  • Liming increases base saturation and availability of calcium and magnesium.

  • The stabilization of phosphorus (P) and molybdenum (Mo) can inactivate reactive components.

  • Liming induces the action of micro-organisms and increases nitrogen fixation and nitrogen mineralization. In this way, leguminous crops benefit greatly from liming.
