Soil calcium and pH monitoring sensor system.

An agrarian sensorial system based on temperature, moisture, and all solid-state ion-selective potentiometric sensors was developed with the objective of monitoring the behavior of H+ and Ca2+ ions in soil and in real conditions, contributing with a new tool that tries to complement the current precision agriculture technology. The evaluation of the sensorial system to pH monitoring presented a...

SOIL pH AND LIMING

When crops do not grow well, one of the first question an agronomist is likely to ask is “What is the pH of the soil?” The reason for this question is that soil pH tells us more about a soils ability to produce crops that any other single measurement. A measurement of soil pH is like a doctor’s measurement of a patient’s temperature. It gives an indication something may or may not be wrong, but...

Plant Tolerance of Low Soil pH, Soil Aluminum, and Soil Manganese

Some plants are more able than others to grow on soils with low pH. This interesting ability was not well recognized until the past 20 years or so, and it still is not fully understood. Crop tolerance of low soil pH has become extremely important in the agricultural development of the humid tropics because so many of those soils have low pH (Kamprath and Foy 1985, Salinas and Sanchez 1981, Mara...
