Compare yellow chlorotic leaves with the green non chlorotic leaves at left of this image. Iron (Fe) deficiency is a plant disorder also known as "lime-induced chlorosis". It can be confused with manganese deficiency. If soil iron concentration is high, in spite of this it can become unavailable for absorption if soil pH is higher than 6.5. [1]
Maize plants with severe zinc deficiency in the foreground, with healthier plants (planted at the same time) in the background. Zinc deficiency is common in many different types of soil; some soils (sandy soils, histosols and soils developed from highly weathered parent material) have low total zinc concentrations, and others have low plant-available zinc due to strong zinc sorption ...
Facilitation of usable phosphorus in soil can be optimized by maintaining soil within a specified pH range. Soil acidity, measured on the pH scale, partly dictates what chemical arrangements that phosphorus forms. Between pH 6 and 7, phosphorus makes the fewest bonds which render the nutrient unusable to plants. At this range of acidity the ...
To see if a plant is being affected by soil acidification, one can closely observe the plant leaves. If the leaves are green and look healthy, the soil pH is normal and acceptable for plant life. But if the plant leaves have yellowing between the veins on their leaves, that means the plant is suffering from acidification and is unhealthy.
Soil pH Test: For a very low price, your local Extension office will test your soil pH. To have a test completed, simply collect one cup’s worth of soil and remove all debris, such as sticks ...
A pH close to 6.5 is recommended for vegetable gardens. A soil test can relay that information, and your local Extension office can tell you the necessary amendments.
