Citric Acid – Horticultural pH Management

from $32.00

Citric Acid – Horticultural pH Management

Citric acid is a simple, effective product for reducing irrigation water pH and helping manage high-pH soils and growing media.

It is particularly useful where alkaline or high-bicarbonate irrigation water is gradually pushing soil pH upward and reducing nutrient availability.

Key Uses

  • Reduces irrigation water pH

  • Helps neutralise bicarbonates

  • Supports availability of iron, manganese and other trace elements

  • Useful in market gardens, greenhouses, orchards and fertigation systems

  • Can be used as part of an ongoing high-pH management program

Application

Citric acid is best applied in small, repeated doses through irrigation or fertigation, rather than as a large one-off soil treatment.

Application rate should be adjusted according to water pH, alkalinity, soil pH and crop requirements.

Important

Citric acid provides short-term pH correction and is not normally a permanent soil-acidifying treatment. For persistent high-pH soils, it may be used alongside longer-term strategies such as elemental sulphur.

Always dilute before application and monitor pH during use.
