  • What is the pH value of a water-logged field, if the top soil has become alkaline and water logged?

    Question: What is the pH value of a water-logged field, if the top soil has become alkaline and water logged?

    Options:

    8
    9
    10
    11

    When, pH = 7 to 8.5 normal yields. (Best suited pH for maximum yields)
    When, pH = 8.0 to 9.0 yield decreases and partially infertile
    When, pH = 11 soil becomes more alkaline and infertile
    Note: –
    Water logging may be defined as the increase in water-table which lead to decreased productivity of the land. Whenever there is water-logging, there will always be salinity. And hence soil becomes alkaline.
    Causes of water logging: –
    Over and intensive irrigation
    Seepage of water from adjoining high lands
    Seepage of water through canals.
    Inadequate natural drainage.
    Excessive rainfall
    Submergence due to floods.
    Kye point –
    Crop Logging: Tracking crop growth and development.
    Crop Lodging: Plants falling over due to environmental factors.
    Water Logging: Soil saturation with water, affecting plant health.
