11. The horticultural field used for kale production showed stunted plants with purple leaves. If the plant tissues from the field tested high in nitrates: (i) identify the nutrients that was deficient; (ii) explain the possible causes of the deficient nutrients
12. Using chemical equations, explain how calcium oxide neutralizes soil acidity
13. The amount of calcium hydroxide required to change the pH of the soil from 5.5 to 7.0 is 6 milliequivalents per 100g of soil. Given that: • Average soil density = 2000 kg/m³ • Hectare furrow slice = 10 cm • Relative atomic masses for Ca = 40, H = 1, O = 16 Determine the amount of calcium carbonate required for one hectare of land for the same soil sample.
14. Explain the factors that affect nutrient absorption in plants
15. Nitrogenous fertilizers are highly soluble and easily leached. Highlight the measures that may improve their utilization.
