- 4. A major nutrient that regulates water balance, improves fruit quality, and strengthens plants against stress and disease.
Down
- 1. Soil with a pH of exactly 7 where most nutrients are readily available, making it ideal for many crops.
- 2. Soil with a pH range of 0 to 6.9, commonly found in forest areas and regions with high rainfallSULFUR – An element added to soil to lower the pH level and make it more acidic.
