The major enemies of crops are WEEDS and PESTS, if these two are not managed properly your yields can drastically reduce about 50% .
Let's control weeds on time to minimize competition of nutrients, sunlight and space. If you can't manually control the weeds ensure that you use appropriate chemicals with proper mode of actions, time of application and those which are least damaging to soils, humans , animals and environment.

On the other hand, controlling pests needs a proper identification of pests which can only be achieved through monitoring and scouting. After scouting you can then come up with a good Integrated pest management plan( IPM) to supress, prevent or eradicate these enemies.

UNDERSTANDING SOIL AMENDMENT AGENTS IN AGRICULTURE AND THEIR EFFECT ON SOIL PH.
Calcitic lime , Dolomitic lime , Gypsum and Elemental sulfur

1.CALCITIC LIME (calcium carbonate) used to raise the soil pH, applied when the soil is acidic.

2. DOLOMITIC LIME(calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate in the ratio of 2:1)also used to raise the soil pH but this one is better because not only ll it add calcium in the soil but also magnesium which plays a vital role in plants's health more especially in fruits and vegetables.

3. GYPSUM, this one adds calcium to the soil without having any effect on the soils pH, it is used to improve soil structure, more especially in clayey soil, improves water retention and microbial activities. For most crops that require much calcium like groundnuts it's advisable to add gypsum for kernel development.

4. Elemental sulfur - Used to acidify the soil or dropping the pH of the soil, when applied microorganisms convert sulfur into sulfuric acid which then lowers soil pH

NOTE: most nutrients become readily available in the soil pH of slight acidity to slight neutral 5.5-6.5

As farmers let's normalize carrying out soil testing, it ll help us make well informed decision on fertilization, soil amendments and to know overall soil health.
