pH is one of the essential parameters which influences and determines the normal functioning of many processes in nature, industry and agriculture. Besides climate, weather conditions, types of plants, area, annual precipitation, one of the important factors that is taken into consideration at any agrochemical analysis is the quality of soil and its pH parameter, in particular. Acidity of the soil is a pledge of a “good life” of crops and plants growing there. Besides, it determines also the life conditions for microorganisms, the presence of which may have both, positive and negative effects on the process of growing of trees, vegetables, crops, berries, bushes etc. even the quality of the hay used for cattle and livestock depends on the acidity of the soil, since the amount of nutrients, vitamins, proteins and valuable minerals contained in the soil and enriching the plants in the process of their growth, significantly fluctuates depending on the fluctuation of the pH level. For example, if the acidity level increases too much, the valuable elements cannot reach the plants and won’t be absorbed in the necessary amounts.
