Soil pH meter is a device used to measure the pH of the soil – whether the soil is acidic or alkaline. One of the most important factors in the growth of the plant, whether the soil is acidic, neutral or alkaline. Performing soil pH tests to ensure that the plants are getting the nutrients they need is crucial.
What is the pH of the soil and what is its significance?
The pH of the soil is very important to ensure the availability of nutrients to the plants. pH 6.5 is generally optimal, but may vary slightly depending on the type of plant, all of which may have different requirements. Soil that is acidic is not a good home for beneficial bacteria. On the other hand, high pH soils are alkaline, which can be a barrier to getting iron, manganese, copper, phosphorus and zinc. Iron is very important for all plants, but especially for evergreen plants.
Today we will introduce the working methods of pH meter. Mrs. Anit Thomas introduces you to the methods of pH meter through livekerala.com, which is very simple and useful. An important feature of this meter is that it not only checks the pH, but also the amount of moisture and sunlight. You need to make all the necessary changes to make sure your plant is getting exactly what it needs. It is very easy to use, just insert a double probe 2 to 4 inches into the soil, change the switch to the parameter you want to calculate and the result will be displayed. Watch the video.
