Some crops tolerate low pH better than others, but why settle for ‘tolerating’ when you can improve soil conditions? H-Start enhances microbial activity, helping unlock nutrients in acidic soils. loom.ly/QbI4OmU #WestCdnAg #SoilHealth

Aluminum toxicity is a hidden challenge in acidic soils. When pH drops below 5.5, aluminum becomes more soluble, stunting root growth and reducing yields. H-Start can help by improving microbial activity to limit aluminum’s impact. loom.ly/ktLHbaA #WestCdnAg #SoilHealth

Great list of soil threats. How are you protecting your soil? Western Canadian farmers are way ahead with zero-tillage fields, but more can be done. Compaction - anyone buying a smaller seeder these days? Salinity - most farmers just write off saline acres.

Disease pressure is often higher in low pH soils. Beneficial microbes compete with harmful pathogens, and when soil acidity reduces their activity, disease risk increases. H-Start helps restore microbial balance. loom.ly/ktLHbaA #WestCdnAg #SoilHealth

Low pH soils are more prone to compaction and erosion, making it even harder for crops to establish strong roots. Addressing acidity improves soil resilience and long-term productivity. loom.ly/ktLHbaA #WestCdnAg #SoilHealth

Acidic soils can lock up key nutrients like phosphorus and potassium, leaving crops hungry despite proper fertilization. Managing pH is critical to getting the most from your inputs. loom.ly/ktLHbaA #SoilHealth

Low pH challenges soil health, but there are solutions. Testing, crop selection, and microbial support can help mitigate the impact of soil acidity. Read more: loom.ly/S7fnYb4 #SoilHealth

Soil acidity doesn’t just affect crops—it also influences soil microbes. Low pH favors fungi over bacteria, which can slow down organic matter breakdown and nutrient cycling. Find out how it affects your soil: loom.ly/ktLHbaA #SoilHealth

This is a EU study but the impacts of microbes on soil health and productivity are the same no matter the continent.

In the future, could your soil help fight soil-borne diseases? Maybe it's not so far in the future. Imbalances in soil microbes are proving to be an opportunity for soil borne diseases to take hold in crop land. Could your soil be the weapon your crops need?

Want to improve crop health in acidic soils? Managing pH and supporting microbial activity with H-Start can help mitigate nutrient loss and toxicity. Learn more: loom.ly/S7fnYb4 #SoilHealth
