What would a farmer do if his soil was to acidic?
He would add a base such as lime (calcium oxide).
What does soil pH measure?
The pH scale is used to measure how acidic or basic a soil ranges from 0 to 14. The midpoint which is 7, is neutral. Soil below the pH level 7 is acidic. Soil that is above 7 is basic.
Does soil type change how well crops grow?
Yes it will. The thing that will change it is the type of soil it is. It can either be , neutral, basic/alkaline or acidic.
What pH would indicate and acidic soil?
The answer to 'What pH would indicate and acidic soil?' is 5. 5 is a week number and 1 is the strongest, 7 is neutral and 14 is a strong alkali 9 is week.
Does acidic soil have low or high pH levels?
Acidic Soil has a low pH . Remember the pH scale. 1 ( very acidic) ,, to 7 (neutral) ,, to 14 (very alkaline). Farmers often put lime on acidic soil in order to remove the acidity. As per the equation. 2H^+(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s) = Ca^(2+)(aq) + 2H2O(l) It should be noted that plants prefer acidic conditions, and other prefer more neutral/alkaline conditions.
How can science of neutralisation help farmer?
A neutralisation reaction occurs when an acid + base forms a salt + water (H2O). This could help a farmer as if the soil was acidic, a farmer could as a basic solution or basic power to form water (neutral) and a salt. It could also be used if the soil needed to become acidic and it was basic.
If a soil is too acidic what should a farmer add to it?

Do gardenia plants like acidic soil?
No, geraniums don't prefer acidic soil. But yes, they prefer slightly acidic soil. As with most soil life and cultivated plants, geraniums favor a soil pH of 6.5. They can tolerate a range of 5.8 to 7.0. But they do their best when the pH only is slightly acidic and is bordering the neutral range of 6.5-7.0.
Do beans like acidic soil or alkaline soil?

Beans prefer soil that is near neutral in pH. 6.0 to 6.8 is preferred. So lima beans prefer a slightly acidic soil.
reason why plant can not thrive in highly acidic?
In fact, some plants can thrive in highly acidic soil. Because most plants need a neutral pH soil(6). It's the process of evolution. Like how humans can breathe on land but not in water. Because for a long time most of the soil is neutral pH.
