Soil, Fertilizer & WateringIs hard irrigation water the same as high-alkalinity water for mangoes?
Hardness mainly reflects calcium and magnesium, while alkalinity describes acid-neutralizing capacity. They can be associated but are not interchangeable measurements. Request both when investigating deposits or a changing substrate pH. Treating one number as a substitute for the other can lead to an unsuitable treatment decision or an incorrect estimate of nutrients arriving with the water.
