Soil PH range and Acidic Soil ဘယ်လိုလုပ်မလဲ

 

    

မျ

ားသောအားဖြင့် သစ်ပင်တွေက Soil  PH level 6 နဲ့  7.5 အတွင်းမှာလိုအပ်ပေမဲ့ Citric ကဲ့တို့သော တချို့သစ်ပင်တွေက Acidic Soil  လိုအပ်ပါတယ်။  Acidic Soil က  PH level below 7 ဖြစ်ပြီးတော့  7 အထက်ဆိုရင် Alkaline ဖြစ်ပါတယ်။ မြေကြီးဘယ်လောက်ပီအိတ်ခ်ျရှိသလဲဆိုတာ  soil PH meter ကရိယာနဲ့ အလွယ်တကူတိုင်းနိုင်ပါတယ်။ 

    PH 7.5 ဖြစ်နေတဲ့မြေကြီးကို 6.0 ဖြစ်ဖို့ 1/3 pound of sulfur ကို 10 square feet ရှိတဲ့မြေကြီးနဲ့အသုံးပြုနိုင်သလို 2.1 pound of Aluminum sulfate per 10 square feet နဲ့သုံးနိုင်ပါတယ်။ အဲ့ဒီမြေကို PH 5.0 ဖြစ်အောင်လုပ်ချင်ရင်တော့ ½ pound of sulfur ဒါမှမဟုတ် 3.6 pound of aluminum sulfate par 10 square feet နဲ့ရောမွေနိုင်ပါတယ်။ မြေကြီးကို၈လက်မလောက်တူးဆွပြီး fall before spring သစ်ပင်မစိုက်ခင် အဆင်သင့်လုပ်ထားနိုင်ပါတယ်။ peat moss နဲ့လည်း ၁လက်မကနေ၂လက်မအထိလောက်မြေကိုဖုန်းထားခြင်းဖြင့် PH level ကိုထိန်းထားနိုင်ပါတယ်။
