Unlocking the Secrets of Bean Growth: The Impact of pH Levels on Crop Productivity

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of varying pH levels of water on the growth of beans, aiming to enhance agricultural practices and increase crop yields. By preparing bean seeds and pH solutions with different levels, planting the beans, and watering them with the solutions, the researchers monitor their growth while collecting data on height, leaf color, and pH level of water. The anticipated outcomes suggest that beans thrive best at near-neutral pH levels, and different pH levels of water significantly impact their nutrient uptake and overall growth. These findings hold valuable implications for farmers, as informed decision-making regarding pH levels in irrigation water can greatly enhance crop productivity. By optimizing pH management, farmers can adjust their practices to maximize bean growth, contributing to sustainable agriculture and addressing global food security challenges.
