Why do farmers use quicklime?
they use it to neutralise acidic soil in fields
Why do farmers and gardeners want to neutralise soils?
because the acid in the soil reacts with the air and that gives off minerals and minerals freshen the soil
How does limestone neutralise the soil?
it sinks in
When farmers add slaked lime or quick lime to soil?
quicklime, which is an alkali, is placed on the soil to neutralise acid soil and so raise its pH.The soil becomes too acid due to the bacteria which help plants and animals decompose.Why do we need to neutralise soil?Some plants grow better in less acid soilsBacteria, which cause plants to decompose and so fertilize the soil, grow better in less acid soils.
How can you neutralise an acidic soil?
Calcium carbonate, shells

What do farmers add to the soil to prevent damage for acid rain?
Powdered lime, to neutralise the acid.

Why neutralise soil?
water your soil
How do you neutralize soil after fertilized?
To neutralise a sample of soil, you must determine the pH of the soil sample either acidic or alkaline. Add lime (e.g. Limestone) to acidic soil to neutralise it. And add sulphur to alkaline soil which will neutralise it.
How do you neutralise acid rain in soil?
Add a base/alkali such as calcium carbonate (limestone) to the soil which will neutralise the acidity.

What do farmers use limestone for?
Lime (slaked lime or quick lime) is a strong alkali, and it neutralises the pH of the soil if it is acidic. It also contains valuable metallic elements needed for growing such as calcium, magnesium, iron, aluminum etc.

Why do farmers use calcium compounds to neutralise their soil?
Soil can be too acidic for some crop plants to grow. Thus liming the soil, which is a basic fertilizer, will decrease acidity and increase neutralization of the soil so plants can grow well in. It's also a way for livestock to get their calcium when grazing.
Why do farmers enrich the soil?
