Overview

Soil pH is a critical property that indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. pH affects nutrient availability, microbial activity, and plant growth. Soils with a pH below 6 are considered acidic, while those above 7 are alkaline. A pH between 6.5 and 7 is generally optimal for most crops. This dataset provides pH levels for soils across Nepal, useful for assessing soil health and crop suitability.
