Apart from direct effects of adding an acidic or caustic chemical to a plant which may result in direct chemical burns pH is of normally of importance in the soil.
Different plants have different "ideal" pH ranges for the soil they are grown in, this is related to the area where the plant evolves (e.g. forest plants normally have acidic soils).
The availability of macro and micro elements/ nutrients in the soil is determined by the pH of the soil. If the pH is outside of tolerance certain elements are not available in soluble form, this means that the plant cannot absorb them and deficiencies start to materialise in the plant. Depending on the severity, the plant could become stunted or die if the problem is not corrected.
The normally accepted "ideal" pH range for most plants to flourish in is between 5.5 and 7.0
Because pH indicates acidity and alkalinity and it effects in most things which is used in plant that's y its an important topic in plant
Because some plants like acidic or alkaline soil better. This is the pH of what their natural soil was where the plants originated.
it affects nutrients availability
The pH of soil has a great importance for the growth of plants.
No
Yes.
Well pH has an affect on goldfish health: too low or too high a pH causes the fish to be stressed and if it is stressed it is more susceptable to disease and will not grow.
Optimum pH for germination of peas is 5.8-7. At a pH of 8 or greater the seed will not germinate.
becaues the plants will not have room for its root to grow
pH at number 7 is neutral and is best for plant growth; however, plants have tolerance to acidic and alkaline soils up to certain degree. Plant growth is affected in extreme saline and alkaline conditions.
pH affects the availability of nutrients.
The pH of soil has a great importance for the growth of plants.
No
Ph levels affect the balance of things. If an ecosystems Ph level is off, it can cause a surplus in bacterial growth.
Yes,it could effect the growth of plants
Yes it does make a difference on plants growth if you talk to them.
They are great they give the roots room to grow, they break down plant matter into fine particles that can be absorbed by the plants and help to lower the ph of acidic soil.
Plants require a proper balance of minerals for optimum growth.
Yes
Yes.
