Homepage High Soil pH: The Hidden Yield Loss

Soil pH is a decisive chemical parameter that directly controls the solubility of nutrients. The majority of soils in Türkiye range between 7.5 and 8.5, and this elevated pH severely limits nutrient uptake. Iron, zinc, manganese and phosphorus may be present, yet cannot be utilized by the plant due to fixation. As a result, flowering weakens, vegetative development slows, fruit quality declines, production costs increase and stress tolerance drops.

High pH leads to:

• Reduced nutrient availability

• Poor fruit size, color and homogeneity

• Restricted root growth

• Inefficient fertilizer utilization

• Increased salinity pressure, suppressed microbial activity

• Higher vulnerability to environmental stress

This problem cannot be solved by fertilizer alone. The root zone must be corrected chemically and biologically by:

• Adjusting pH

• Increasing organic carbon

• Activating microbial structure

• Improving ion exchange

• Reducing salinity pressure

Spectro Seo combines elemental sulfur with humic–fulvic acids, offering an integrated solution.
Elemental sulfur regulates pH, while organic matter increases ion mobility and improves nutrient availability. Soil biology is reactivated, fixation is reduced and uptake is optimized.

Spectro Seo results:

• Stronger root development

• Higher nutrient absorption

• Improved flowering and fruit quality

• Balanced EC, reduced salt stress

• Lower fertilizer costs due to higher efficiency

 

Spectro Seo supports chemical, biological and physical soil improvement simultaneously. As Profert, our objective is to provide scientifically proven and field-effective solutions for sustainable crop production.
