Decreasing soil pH, also called soil acidification, is a growing concern in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Researchers and farmers have measured soil pH values below 5.0 throughout the Palouse region, in particular. Decreasing soil pH has serious implications for the cropping systems of the Palouse.This publication, FS169 - An Introduction, is part of a series on soil acidification and covers the fundamentals of soil pH and acidification. The series continues with other fact sheets on more specific topics such as the influence of pH on pathogens and microbes, recommended varieties of specific crops, herbicide activity, crop nutrition, and liming.
