What may cause soil to get too acidic?
Sometimes there could be too much aluminum in the soil making it acidic. Sometimes there is too much manganese which is toxic to plants. If the soil is too acidic, it can be because of a calcium and magnesium deficiency which is just as bad for plants as it is for humans. Iron and aluminum in great amounts can tie up phosphorus which also makes the soil too acidic for plants.
What can happen to soil if the hydrogen ion concentration increases?
When there is an increase in hydrogen ion concentration, the soil becomes acidic. Too much acidity in the soil can kill plants.
What can you do to reduce the amount of nitrogen in the soil?
Watering thoroughly should help. But you want to be careful, because too much watering will kill the plant, just as too much nitrogen will.
Why must farmers be careful not to add too much slaked lime to soil?
the palnts might get boners
Why is lime used to reduce the acidic content of soil?
Lime is a base, which is the opposite of an acid. Adding a base to something which is acidic will reduce the acidity (PH). This needs to be done with care, lime is a powerful and dangerous chemical. Improper handling can result in chemical burns, eye damage or poisoning. Too much lime in soil is a worse problem than too much acidity, it is important to follow appropriate manufacturer's guidelines concerning the amount of lime used. Garden stores sell acidity testing products which will assist you in adjusting the PH balance of soil.
What is the problem with too much clay in soil?
im not sure
Why might soil rich in organic matter not be fertile?
The salinity level might be too high.
Dose Salinity Affect A House Plant's Growth?
Yes, if the soil has too large of a salt concentration, then the plant will not be able to absorb water or nutrients from the soil.
Why do snapdragons need nutrients to grow?
Snapdragons may need organic matter and nutrients to grow because the soil may not have the proper pH level, salinity problems, or contain too much clay. The pH level of the soil should be between 5.5 and 6.2. High soil pH levels can cause iron deficiencies.
Does moss instead of grass indicate sour soil?
It indicates a soil problem, which is sometimes 'sour' (acidic) soil. It can also be poor drainage, too much shade, or poor fertility. Sometimes it's a combination of these problems.
What is Soggy soil?

Which two challenges occured in India that did not occur in Mesopotamia or Egypt?

There isn't too much you can do once top soil is lost but to replace it, but first address the erosion problem. Soil amendments may raise your crop quality some but nothing works better than good soil.
What will happen if soil is exposed to too much rain?
if soil is exposed to to much rain it will get damp and it will deteriorate
How people overcome the problem of soil is too acidic?
You add ground limestone. It will take 3-6 months for the lime to lower the acidity, however, and too much is worse than none at all.
What does too much water do to the soil?
cause you stupid
Why is too much water bad for soil structure?
When soil has too much water consistency it is overwhelming for a plant to absorb the water into its roots and up the stem to the leaves.That soil is like sloppy mud but when there is too little water (and too many nutrients) the soil it is impossible to absorb the water because it just slips through the soil so fast! Hope this helps!
