how does plant grow according to the PH of the soil

Open in App
Solution

The most favorable pH range for vegetable and most of the plants is between

1. 5.5-6.5 in mineral soil.

2. 5.0 to 6.0 in organic soil.

Most soil used for plants become gradually more acidic as calcium is lost due to leaching by rainwater and irrigation. Vegetables vary in tolerance power to soil acidity. High acidic soil cause yellowing of leaves, resulting in the decrease in growth and yield of crops as the pH levels falls
