Lamotte pH Tracer

Soil pH is a measure of the relative acidity or basicity of a given soil. The pH scale (0-14) is a logarithmic expression of hydrogen ion activity. A pH of 7.0 is neutral, and soils above or below this value are either alkaline or acidic, respectively. A soil with a pH of 6.0 is ten times more acidic than a soil of pH 7.0. Changes in soil pH dramatically affect the availability of nutrients to growing crops. The pH meter is the preferred method for determination of soil pH and the only one adaptable to the buffer methods for determining the lime requirement of a soil. pH is measured by mixing a 1:1 ratio of soil and distilled water. Distilled water not included with meters.
