Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. hydrogen
Other Information -
- The acidic nature of the soil is demonstrated by the high concentration of hydrogen.
- Due to excessive rainfall, alkaline elements such as calcium, magnesium etc. get washed away in the water from the upper surface of the land, as a result of which the pH value of the soil becomes less than 6.5, we call such land as acidic land.
- Soil acidity is a natural property, which has a significant impact on the yield of crops.
- In acidic soil, due to the excess of hydrogen and aluminum, the normal growth of plant roots stops, due to which the roots remain short, thick and compact.
