Different plants do well at different pH levels in the soil. So if you are trying to grow something, you will want to know if the soil has the right pH, so that if it doesn't, you can correct it by adding the appropriate chemicals.

Why do you test soil?
you test the soil to check how much PH it has. plants need the right PH
Why farmers need to know how acidic or basic the soil is before they plant their crop?
Different species of plants require different levels of soil pH.
What is the importance of knowing soil pH?
I'm not sure about this, but I think if you know the pH value of the soil, then you can plant specific plants and crops and they will not be harmed by the soil. ;)
What is the relationship between salinity and soil pH?
Salinity is the avaiable salt content of the soil or whatever your testing pH in the soil i dont know much about but in water i know that is is the available amount of acidity and bacitity
What is the pH of loamy soil?
In order to find the pH you will need to test the soil. Different factors will effect the pH and different plants grow better at a different pH. I heard its ph level is "6" the ideal fertilizer for gardening. Its neutral. The ph levels go from 0-11 :)

gardeners and farmers.

Why farmers need to know how acidic or basic the soil is?
Acidic or basic (alkline) is measured By Ph. Every plant has an ideal Ph at which it likes to grow. It also has a range at which it will still survive. Kniwing the Ph tells the Farmer what plants will grow in a given soil. It also by implication suggests what plants will modify the ph in the process of their growtrh cycle or what soil amendment could be used to modify the soil slightly.
How does soil pH affect soil fertility?
soil fertility increases soil PH
What is the optimal pH for hydroponics?
The optimal pH depends on what you are growing. Much like soil pH, it will need to be adjusted per crop.
How you can change the pH of a soil if it is acidicalkaline?
to change the pH of soil

What is soil pH?
Soil pH is the pH value of the particular soil mixture.AnswerIt is a measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity in the soil. 7 is neutral on the scale.
Why do farmers sometimes need to change the pH of soil?
Many plants are tolerant of wide ranges of pH but many are very specific in their pH requirements. A good example is the blueberry which will only grow in a pH below 5.
