The relationship between soil pH and nutrient availability for crops.

 This image explains the relationship between soil pH and nutrient availability for crops. 

Here's a breakdown:

Acidic Soils (pH < 5.5)

🔸 Most crops struggle to absorb phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium.

🔸 However, iron, manganese, and zinc are highly available.

🔸 Best suited for pineapples, blueberries, and tea.

Ideal Soils (pH 6.0 - 7.0)

✅ The best range for most crops.

✅ Well-balanced nutrients that are easily accessible.

Alkaline Soils (pH > 7.0)

⚠️ Crops have difficulty absorbing iron, zinc, and manganese.

✅ However, sulfur, calcium, and magnesium are still accessible.

🌱 Best for chickpeas, lentils, and alfalfa.

Maintaining the right soil pH is crucial for optimal nutrient uptake and crop health!
