which way can i reduce a ph level of water in the farm for irrigation. ph is 7.8 & i want to reduce it to 6.3?

Answer 1

Altering the pH level of soils isn't as easy as it sounds, a soil with a pH of 6.0 is ten times more acidic than a soil with a pH of 7.0, and a soil with a pH of 5.0 is 100 times more acidic than a soil with a pH of 7.0, Many soils have a high (buffering Capacity), or resistance to change in pH, especially soils high in clay or organic matter.. Sulphur may be added to lower pH and Lime may be added to raise pH

Answer 2

my question would first be how are you measuring the PH level? and what is your source of water? both of these will most likely result in varying PH levels. you could use a muratic acid injector to inject in to your irrigation system. but i think the monitoring system's would be rather expensive to work in a scale this large.

would it not be far easier to adjust the soil pH levels through land based applications versus water borne methods?

Answer 3

Ordinary sulfur added to water lowers its PH and makes it more acidic. I dont know what you are growing, but that is common to add sulfur to the soil first, then add oridiary water thereby the plant in effect sees a lower PH . This is done for acid loving flowering plants.
