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.
