    When planted in neutral or alkaline soil, camellias cannot take up adequate nutrients. This is easily corrected by amending soils with garden sulfur to adjust the pH. Scorched or bronzed areas on ...

  3. Soil pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_pH

    In soils, it is measured in a slurry of soil mixed with water (or a salt solution, such as 0.01 M CaCl 2), and normally falls between 3 and 10, with 7 being neutral. Acid soils have a pH below 7 and alkaline soils have a pH above 7. Ultra-acidic soils (pH < 3.5) and very strongly alkaline soils (pH > 9) are rare. [2] [3]

  6. Ammonium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_sulfate

    The primary use of ammonium sulfate is as a fertilizer for alkaline soils.In the soil, the ammonium ion is released and forms a small amount of acid, lowering the pH balance of the soil, while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth.

  7. Alkali soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_soil

    Clay soils in high annual rain fall (more than 100 cm) areas do not generally suffer from high alkalinity as the rain water runoff is able to reduce/leach the soil salts to comfortable levels if proper rainwater harvesting methods are followed. In some agricultural areas, the use of subsurface "tile lines" are used to facilitate drainage and ...

  8. Soil acidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_acidification

    In the soil, acidification reduces microbial and macrofaunal diversity. [31] This can reduce soil structure decline which makes it more sensitive to erosion. There are less nutrients available in the soil, larger impact of toxic elements to plants, and consequences to soil biological functions (such as nitrogen fixation). [32]
