agro Services International Inc. Nutrient Management in high pH soils Alkaline soils have pH values higher than and are quite common. Many of these soils are naturally alkaline while others have been made alkaline by over-liming or using high pH irrigation water in arid areas. Whatever the cause, these soils possess unique properties that can severely limit plant growth and require special management. The high pH itself does not have a large effect on most crops although there are exceptions. In most cases, plants growing on alkaline soils are affected by nutrient problems. As the soil pH increases, the solubility of many nutrients is reduced. As a result, these nutrients are precipitated as solid materials that plants cannot use. For example, the solubility of iron at pH is 100 ppm but if the pH is increased to , the solubility drops to ppm.
