Takemura DM-13 Soil Ph Meter

SOIL AND ITS RELATION TO CROP-PRODUCTION
In order to form soil which is able to absorb nutrients effectively, it is necessary to neutralize the soil, i.e, by mixing lime with it. However, if the soil liming is excessive, manganese will be depleted, and manganese deficiency will occur. As a result, the usefulness of the soil may be lost completely. Therefore, when liming, it is important to add only the proper amount for neutralization. Before the application of lime the pH value must be determined-the pH reading indicates its hydrogen ion concentration. To determine this value Takemura’s simplified pH Tester is recommended-it has been specifically manufactured for making on-site measurements.

* pH values suitable for vegetable growth : these are attached to the tester proper.
* Amount of calcium carbonate necessary to provide soil with a pH value is 6.5, 
10 Acres area and 15cm indepth.

* This meter will give you accurate readings of the pH in your soil.

* An excellent gardening accessory for those gardeners that tend to over water and those that want to keep a close eye on their pH level.
