    Soil pH is an important chemical property because it influences the availability of soil nutrients for plant uptake, and it affects a crop’s root system development. Soil pH also indicates whether lime is needed to correct toxicities caused by aluminum and manganese, or to increase calcium levels in the soil. A new method measures the buffering capacity directly.
