Soil PH Test with Neil Halpin

suSCon Blue, used to manage cane grubs works better in acid soils, so it has been a while since lime was applied on many cane farms. This could be a problem for growers considering a legume fallow, which requires a neutral Ph for high yielding crops. So getting your soil tested is important. Neil Halpin (Senior Agronomist, QPIF/DEEDI) shows how you can perform a quick Ph test of your soil using a simple test kit. The results are surprisingly accurate.

With high PH soils 7.5 to 9, what methods can be used to reduce this PH so nutrients are released to the plant? Take into account that I have high infiltration allievial soils.
