acid
Soil treatment can involve both acid and alkali solutions. Acid treatments are used to lower soil pH for crops that prefer acidic conditions, while alkali treatments are used to raise soil pH for plants that thrive in alkaline environments. The choice between acid or alkali treatment depends on the specific needs of the plants being grown.
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.
Acid + alkali ---> Salt + Water for exampleSodium Hydroxide + Hydrochloric Acid ---> Sodium Chloride + Water
An Alkali is also a base. So, when reacted with an acid forms a salt and water as products
To determine how much acid is needed to dissolve a specific amount of alkali, you can conduct a titration experiment. Add a known volume of acid of known concentration to the alkali solution until the alkali is completely neutralized. By recording the volume of acid used, you can calculate the amount needed to dissolve the alkali based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

Broccoli is a Brassica so grows best in alkali soil.
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.

alkali is used to reduce acid and acid is used to reduce alkali
No an alkali is the opposite of an acid. Alkali = basic; acid = acidic.
