Soil fertility is the powerhouse that drives crop yield — and this episode of The Agronomists is an absolute powerhouse of soil fertility knowledge in order to learn more about soil pH.
When too high or too low, the pH of soil can create huge issues in nutrient availability, nitrogen fixing capability, and soil microbe populations. Certain crops can tolerate the extremes, but most crops prefer a close-to-neutral range. Soil naturally has a pH range, but management decisions impact changes, including acidification.
To unpack signs and symptoms of pH problems, to what’s happening at an ion level, to how to choose a lime product, this episode features insight from Drs. Alan Blaylock of Nutrien, Miles Dyck of the University of Alberta, and Jeff Schoenau of the University of Saskatchewan.
