Soil can be acid, neutral or alkaline, according to its pH value. Most plants prefer a pH range from 5.5 to 7.5; but some species prefer more acid or alkaline soils. Nevertheless, every plant requires a particular range of pH, for optimum growth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides being supplied with a unique pH electrode made for soil analysis, the HI98168 has the Hanna's unique CAL Check™ feature that alerts the user to potential problems during the calibration process. This is a very important since it is likely that the probe will be coated with soil. This coating can easily lead to errors in pH measurement. By comparing previous calibration data to the current calibration, the meter will inform the user, with display prompts, when the probe needs to be cleaned, replaced, or if the pH buffer might be contaminated. After calibration, the overall probe condition is displayed on screen as a percentage. The probe condition is affected by both the offset and slope characteristics of the pH electrode, both of which can be found in the GLP data including with the readings stored in the meter or transferred to a PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 24px 48px; margin: 0 0 48px; flex-direction: row-reverse;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; max-width: 440px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/9535\/5761\/files\/HI1294_2100x2100_300_CMYK.jpg\" alt=\"GroLine soil pH electrode \" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 340px; min-width: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003eELECTRODE FEATURES\/BENEFITS:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HI12923 pH electrode that is supplied with the meter is uniquely designed with a conical tip and a triple ceramic junction for improved performance in soils that have a low moisture content.
