Boost Your Farm Income: Master Soil pH for Bumper Harvests & Healthy Crops

• Soil pH balance is crucial for optimal crop growth and yield, alongside seeds, irrigation, and fertilizers.
• The pH scale (0-14) defines soil as acidic (<7), alkaline (>7), or neutral (7); imbalance stunts growth and reduces production.
• Reliable pH testing involves collecting soil samples for laboratory analysis; kits and apps offer preliminary information.
• Symptoms of imbalance include poor growth, yellow leaves, reduced flowering, and ineffective fertilizers due to nutrient unavailability.
• Acidic soil (pH < 6) needs lime/dolomite; alkaline soil (pH > 8) requires gypsum, organic fertilizers, and proper drainage based on soil test reports.

Why It Matters: Maintaining optimal soil pH is vital for maximizing crop yield, nutrient absorption, and farmer income.
