lime water
Why do farmers use quicklime?
they use it to neutralise acidic soil in fields
Why do farmers put nitrates in soil?
idsloving it in soil
How do people other than farmers put minerals into soil?
That's a very odd question, farmers don't put minerals in soil the minerals are already there
Why do farmers sometimes add slaked lime to acidic soil?
Many plants do not do as well in acidic soil. The lime makes the soil less acidic, or even basic.

How does limestone help farmers?
It adds calcium to the soil and helps raise the pH for more acidic soils.
What do farmers usually add to soil that is too acidic?
Agricultural lime, which is composed of primarily calcium carbonate.

Does acidic soil have low or high pH levels?
Acidic Soil has a low pH . Remember the pH scale. 1 ( very acidic) ,, to 7 (neutral) ,, to 14 (very alkaline). Farmers often put lime on acidic soil in order to remove the acidity. As per the equation. 2H^+(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s) = Ca^(2+)(aq) + 2H2O(l) It should be noted that plants prefer acidic conditions, and other prefer more neutral/alkaline conditions.
Why farmers need to know how acidic or basic the soil is before they plant their crop?
Different species of plants require different levels of soil pH.
Why did farmers use quicklime for?
The soil on the fields is usually quute acidic. So, adding quicklime, which is an alkali, makes it neutural.
Why farmers need to know how basic or acidic the soil?
Plants grow better in soil with the PH (acid-base) they have adapted to. The acidity or the alkalinity of the soil is important to know in order to grow a particular plant. Some plants want a acidic soil and some want a basic soil. However, most plants prefer a neutral to slightly alkaline soil. So, it is important for the farmers to know what type of soil it is in order to balance or neutralize the soil. They should know what type of inorganic substance/fertilizer to add in order to neutralize the soil.
