Why Maintaining the Right Soil pH Levels Matters for Healthy Crops.

Soil pH is critical for crop performance because it affects the chemical form of nutrients and determines whether plants can absorb them. When pH drops below 5.5, many nutrients become less available while toxic elements like aluminium and manganese increase, which can harm growth. pH also influences the activity of soil microbes that release nutrients, so keeping the right pH supports a healthy soil ecosystem and maximises the productivity of your farm.

Having the right soil pH allows optimal nutrient uptake by plants, supports healthy root growth and microbial activity, and leads to greater productivity with reduced nutrient loss.

The Economics of Soil pH Management

  • Soil pH Management

    Proper soil pH management is not just a matter of plant health; it’s also an economic consideration. Here’s how optimising soil pH can impact your bottom line.

  • Improve Nutrient Use Efficiency

    Optimal pH ensures better uptake of applied fertilisers, reducing waste and lowering input costs.

  • Higher Yields

    Crops grown in optimal pH conditions generally produce higher yields, increasing revenue.

  • Better Crop Quality

    Proper pH management can improve crop quality, potentially commanding higher market prices.

  • Reduced Disease Pressure

    Some soil-borne diseases are less prevalent in soils with optimal pH, potentially reducing pesticide costs.

  • Long-Term Soil Health

    Maintaining proper pH contributes to overall soil health, ensuring sustained productivity.

Relative Efficency (%)

Finer particles of agricultural lime were more efficient in changing soil pH (Cregan et al. 1989)

Correcting soil pH early unlocks faster nutrient availability and better farm performance. Traditional Aglime is effective but slow, dusty, and requires high volumes because of its large chip size.

Prilled lime is growing in popularity because it reacts faster, lifting pH more quickly so the benefits are realised sooner. The speed of pH correction comes down to particle size — research shows finer lime increases pH faster.

PFP prills are made from ultra-fine, micrometre-sized lime particles that act rapidly to neutralise acidity and deliver a quicker, more efficient lift in soil pH.
