PH and EC Management

pH and EC influence absorption of fertilizers throughout crops. Factors like, fertilizer choice, pH, EC and outlet water greatly influence reaching maximum results. It is therefore important to know how to adjust the pH and EC of nutrient solutions.

EC stands for electrical conductivity, which is the potential of any material to conduct electricity. The term pH (potential of hydrogen) is used to specify the acidity or basicity (H+ ions) of an aqueous solution or medium

Information regarding EC and pH for hydroponics can be found here. A research paper from University of Georgia can be found here.

You can find tools and products below to measure and alter the EC/pH and some information here and here.
