What is the relationship between soil acidity and alkalinity and rational fertilization?

Soil acidity and alkalinity are usually expressed by pH, which refers to the degree of acidity and alkalinity of the soil. Soil acidity and alkali are divided into 7 levels. The grading indicators are as follows: PH reflects the intensity <4.5, the acidity is extremely strong 4.5 to 5.5, the strong acidity is 5.5 to 6.5, the acidity is 6.5 to 7.5, the neutrality is 7.5 to 8.5, and the alkalinity is 8 .5～9.5 Strong Alkaline>9.5 Alkaline is very strong Generally, the northern soil is neutral or alkaline, the pH value is between 7.0 and 8.5, while the southern red soil and yellow soil are mostly Acidic reaction, pH between 5.0 and 6.5, individual soil even pH value <4. Soil acidity and alkalinity is one of the important factors affecting the soil nutrient availability. Most nutrients are most effective or nearly highest at pH 6.5-7.0. In terms of phosphorus, if the soil pH is less than 5, the soil has more active iron and aluminum, and often forms iron phosphate and aluminum phosphate with less solubility in the water-soluble phosphate in the phosphate fertilizer, thereby reducing its effectiveness; >7 hours, water-soluble phosphate easily interacts with free calcium ions in the soil to form calcium phosphate salts, which greatly reduces the effectiveness. For example, in the case of calcareous soil pH>7:5, iron is precipitated due to iron, which causes iron deficiency in crops due to reduced iron availability. The solubility of the iron salt increases as the acidity increases (pH 5 to 7.5). In strongly acidic (pH < 5) soils, crops are often damaged due to the high amount of free iron. In short, the pH of the soil is different, the form of certain nutrients in the soil changes, and the effectiveness of nutrients will also vary. It will eventually be reflected in the absorption of nutrients by crops. Therefore, understanding the relationship between soil acidity and alkalinity and nutrient availability is helpful for guiding fertilization.

In addition, the effectiveness of soil nutrients can also be controlled by regulating soil acidity and alkalinity. When improving strong acid soil; lime is usually applied. The lime requirement is the amount of lime required to be applied per acre based on the amount of potential acid. In general, strong acid soils should be applied with tens of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms of lime per acre, once every few years. When improving the strong alkaline soil, the method of applying gypsum is generally employed.

Product Description

Gabion Fence which are woven by the hexagonal mesh, the diameter thickness of wire gabion depends on the mesh size,  the diameter ranges from 2.0 to 4.0mm. If the material is zinc coated, while the diameter will be 3.0mm to 5.0mm, if material is PVC coated wire, the selvedge wire diameter usually is one gauge thicker than the body wire diameter.


Material: Low carbon steel wire, Galfan wire, PVC coated wire

Standard: ASTM A975,EN10223,SANS1580

Surface Treatment:

  • Electro galvanized, zinc weight Max. 10g/m2, with bad performance of anti-corrosion
  • Hot-dip galvanized, zinc weight Max.up to 300g/m2,good performance of anti-corrosion
  • Galan (zinc-aluminium alloy), including zinc-5% Al mixed rare earth alloy wire and
  • Zinc-10% Al mixed rare earth alloy wire, the best performance of anti-corrosion
  • PVC coated, PVC coating is 1.0mm generally.

Diaphragm: one diaphragm per meter is located in the direction of length of box gabion.
