What are the Advantages of Acid Soils

The acid soils, formed by any of the above processes, behave as very strong acids so much so that pH is quite low even in partial conversion to acid soils. Acid soils have certain advantages for plantation. These are given below:


(i) All metal oxides and hydroxides undergo easy dissolution and make metal ions available as nutrients for plant growth.

(ii) Carbonates in soil decompose to produce more carbon dioxide, which is essential for the growth of plants.

(iii ) Acid soils make availability of phosphate fertilizers easy for the plants.

(iv) Acid soil decomposes illite and mica present in the soil so that more of potassium ion is also available for plants to grow.
