KEY BENEFIT

• Reduced plant uptake of high-pH water and the nutrients in it, resulting in poor growth and vigor
• Tie-up of micronutrients in the soil, usually in oxidized form, leading to poor overall plant health
• Less-effective penetration of irrigation and rainfall
• Frequent incidence of summer patch and algae
• Calcium deposits that build on tanks, lines, and irrigation heads in high-bicarbonate environments, and
• Collapse of the actual soil structure, in sodic soils with a high salt content
