How farmers reduce level of acidity in soil?
Spreading chalk, lime or blast furnace slag is mainly spread on fields to counter the acidity.
Why do farmers put lime on their fields if the acid is to strong?
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 is the ingredient of lime. CaCO3 is a base. If there is too much acid in the fields, by adding a base it can be neutralised - that way, the ground won't be too acidic or too basic and crops can grow in their ideal conditions.
How do farmers use fertilizers to help their crop yield?
They spread them on the fields where it feeds the plants and make them grow bigger/faster.
How do farmers control soil acidity using chemical compounds?
I'm doing the same thing in science. Hard question, isn't it? My teacher hasn't even bothered to teach us about it and decides to give us a homework sheet on it. The other answer means nothing to me, but I have been told that lime being spread on fields is something to do with it...
What do farmers put in the soil if it has too strong acid or alkalis in it?
i belive it is some sort of lime i belive it is some sort of lime

'why spread lime on newly ploughed fields'?
To reduce the acidity of the soil and to protect against acid rain

What is the advantage of some fertilizers are sprayed over crops by helicopters?
Fertilizers are spread on fields by farmers to help their crops grow.
What do farmers put on acidic soil?
The farmers put lime water on acidic soil.
Why do farmers use lime?
so that they can lick it
Would sheetrock help crops grow I want to spread scrap sheetrock on my fields Would it help change the PH of the soil so my hay and grain would grow better?
it just adds lime to the soil. I will help if you need lime.

What sort of lime is spread on fields?
In the Midwest US, it's typically from a municipal water treatment plant which has removed the lime from its city water supply. Both the city and the farm benefit from this arrangement, **BUT** the lime must first be tested for heavy metals or other contaminants that could poison the farmer's field.
Why does the pH level in soil change?
Mostly on farmland because of chemical fertilizers, which over several years will tend to acidify the soil somewhat. That is why farmers "lime" their fields every few years.
In Egypt how did farmers get water to there fields?
farmers used the shaduf to irrigate their fields :):) its true
