Soil Test Interpretation - Waypoint Analytical
www.waypointanalytical.comSOIL ANALYSIS TERMS AND APPLICATIONS The soil pH measures active soil acidity or alkalinity. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. Values lower than 7.0 are acid; values higher are alkaline. Usually the most desirable pH range for mineral soils is 6.0 to 7.0 and for organic soils 5.0 to 5.5 . The soil pH is the value that shoul d
