Plant Growth and Soil Reaction
Article shared by :
A large proportion of crop plants can tolerate slight to moderate acidity, a few can tolerate slightly alkaline soils, but very few are able to tolerate moderately alkaline soil conditions. There are some plants that require strongly acid soils, but all plants of agricultural value fail to grow and die in strongly alkaline soils. The […]
