Detailed explanation-1: -A pH test measures soil acidity or alkalinity. A pH 7.0 is considered neutral. An acid soil has a pH value below 7.0. Above pH 7.0 the soil is alkaline.
Detailed explanation-2: -Natural soil pH depends on the rock from which the soil was formed (parent material) and the weathering processes that acted on it-for example climate, vegetation, topography and time. These processes tend to cause a lowering of pH (increase in acidity) over time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Place soil sample about ¾ full in sample jar and add distilled water to cover soil. Cap the jar and shake the soil vigorously a few times. Let mixture stand 10 minutes to dissolve the salts in the soil. Calibrate the pH tester with a pH 7 and a pH 10 buffer solution. More items •21-Jul-2021
