How to Manage pH value in Agriculture with NIDO ONE V2

pH value is a crucial factor in agriculture, as it affects the availability and absorption of nutrients by plants.

pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the soil solution or the nutrient solution, and ranges from 1 (acidic) to 14 (basic), with 7 as neutral value.

Depending on the pH value, some nutrients can be more or less soluble and therefore more or less assimilable by plants.

The optimal pH value depends on the type of cultivation and the cultivation system.

In general, most agricultural crops grow well in a pH range between 5.5 and 7.5.

However, some crops have adapted to thrive in pH values outside this optimal range.

Moreover, the pH value can vary depending on whether you cultivate in soil or hydroponics.

In soil cultivation, the pH of the soil is influenced by several factors, such as the type of soil, the climate, the organic matter, the quality of water and the fertilizers used.

The pH of the soil can change over time and can be different at different depths. For this reason, it is important to monitor the pH of the soil regularly and make the necessary corrections to maintain the optimal value for the crop.

In hydroponic cultivation, the pH of the nutrient solution is even more important, as the plants are more sensitive to pH changes and need more precise and frequent control.

In general, the optimal pH value for hydroponic plants is a slightly acidic range between 5.5 and 6.5.

However, the optimal value may vary depending on the plant species and the hydroponic system used.

For this reason, it is essential to monitor and adjust the pH of the nutrient solution in order to ensure optimal absorption of nutrients and healthy and productive growth of plants.

To facilitate the management of pH in agriculture, both in soil and hydroponics, NIDO ONE V2 is a smart and versatile device, that allows you to control and automate with precision all the fundamental parameters for the growth of plants, including the pH of the nutrient solution.

With NIDO ONE V2, you can set the desired pH and EC values from the NIDO app and let the device do the rest.

The algorithms of NIDO ONE V2 will perform 96 daily checks to ensure maximum stability of the nutrient solution. Moreover, you can choose the management of liquid fertilizers that you prefer.

NIDO ONE V2 can control up to 4 slots between liquid fertilizers, pH+ and pH-.
