What are the differences between slaked lime and quicklime, and how do they each contribute to various applications in construction and agriculture?

Slaked lime is calcium hydroxide, produced by adding water to quicklime (calcium oxide). Quicklime is more reactive and used for faster reactions, while slaked lime is milder and easier to handle. In construction, quicklime is used for mortar and plaster, while slaked lime is used for soil stabilization. In agriculture, quicklime is used for pH adjustment and disinfection, while slaked lime is used for soil conditioning and nutrient supplementation.
