Soil pH Information

Soil pH strongly influences microbiological activity, mineral elements availability and, ultimately, the adaptability of the different plant species. The most of bacteria - from which  nitrogen fixation, nitrification, some organic matter decomposition process depend – prefer a sub-acid or slightly alkaline environment  ( pH 6.8÷7.2 ); the deviation from such conditions negatively affect both nutritive elements availability and  humidification process. Mushrooms prefer an acid environment and with such conditions they ensure the demolition of organic compounds. Actinomycetes develop mainly in slightly alkaline dry, loose ( and thus rich in oxygen ) soils ( pH 7÷7.5 ), because –  with such conditions – they are able to compensate for the lack of activity of mushrooms and other bacteria, in drought periods.
