PH is a determining factor in the physiology of crops and due to agricultural practices it tends to be generally alkaline, both in the soil and in the water, which negatively influences the microbial activity of the soil and the the presence of certain nutrients that are usually leached in these media, such as iron.

Lemon juice is injected into irrigation water to treat plugging caused by calcium carbonate (CaL) and magnesium precipitation. Water with a pH of 7.5 or more and a bicarbonate level of more than 100 ppm will likely have limescale problems depending on the hardness of the water. The amount of calcium and magnesium determines this hardness. This is classified as follows:
Smooth: 0-60ppm
Moderate: 61-120ppm
Hard: 121-180ppm
Very hard: More than 180ppm
The concentrated lemon juice has a pH of 2.2 so the amounts applied to correct it are minimal; In any case, they depend on the type of water, the pH that we must achieve and from which we initially start. All this leads us to the fact that this process must always be controlled with the use of a pH meter or controller.
