Trinidad Soil pH Map

Soil pH can affect a plant’s ability to absorb vital nutrients from the soil. If pH is too acidic or alkaline, this can stunt or retard root growth and consequently, restrict water and nutrient uptake. Additionally, if the pH is highly acidic (<5.5), some nutrients  become unavailable.

Click on any part of Trinidad and the estimate Soil pH for that area will be displayed.
Soil pH generally ranges from 1 to 14; the optimum range for most crops is between 5.5 and 7.5.
A pH of 7 is neutral. As numbers decrease from 7, the acidity gets higher. As numbers increase from 7 so does the alkalinity.
