Determining the pH level of your food plot is one of the most important steps in planting and will directly affect the success and forage production of each plot. A pH of 7.0 is neutral, while a pH below 7.0, such as 5.0 or 6.0, is acidic.
Your pH level determines how much of the available nutrients and fertilizer your plants can absorb. Soil with a pH of 7.0 can absorb up to 100% of available nutrients, whereas soil with a pH of 5.0 may only absorb around 50%. Simply put, if your pH is off, your investment in seed and fertilizer will never reach its full potential.
This simple do it yourself kit walks you through the basics of testing your pH and can test up to four separate food plot locations.
