Damage to crops due to high pH in soil

  • The soil in which alkali and salts are found in high quantities. Due to this salt gets deposited on the soil in the form of grayish-white colour. 

  • This type of soil is completely infertile, due to which the pH value of the soil is more than 7.5, this type of soil is called alkaline. 

  • Due to the excessive use of calcium and magnesium fertilizers in the soil, the pH of the soil becomes high, due to which the availability of fertilizers and nutrients in the soil decreases. As a result, the yield of the crop is reduced.
