Although nutrients are present at acceptable levels, high soil acidity limits their availability to plants.
Priority recommendations
  • Correct soil acidity
 apply agricultural lime: 4–8 t/ha to improve nutrient availability. 
  • Improve soil fertility
 use compost or manure 
 supply micronutrients blocked by acidity (e.g., molybdenum). 
  • Suitable crops
 acid-tolerant crops such as potatoes
 monitor manganese and zinc levels.
