As in all acid-base (alkali) reactions, it will reduce the acidity of the soil and, if there is an excess of base to acid, it can make the soil become alkaline.

The soil will be less acidic if base is less than acidity, become neutral (if base = acidity), or become alkaline if base is greater than acidity.

Soil fertility can decrease due to factors such as erosion, soil compaction, nutrient depletion, salinization, and excessive pesticide or chemical fertilizer use. These factors can reduce the ability of the soil to support healthy plant growth and agricultural productivity.


How does alkali help to treat acidic soil?

A soil is acidic because there are compounds within it which dissolve in water to form an acid. An acid is defined as a substance which readily gives out protons to oter molecules. An alkali is the converse, in that it is a proton acceptor and readily takes on protons. Treating an acidic soil with an alkali would neutralise the soil, and so the soil would become less acidic. If enough alkali is added, the soil will become neutral, and it will become alkaline if even more alkali is added.
