if the soil is basic then the farmer should add sulphur which is acidic and neutralizes the basic or alkaline soils
if the soil is basic then the farmer should add sulphur which is acidic and neutralizes the basic or alkaline soils

Answer:
If the soil is too acidic, it is to be treated with bases such as quicklime (calcium oxide) or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).
If the soil is too basic, organic matter is added to it. Organic matter releases acids which neutralise the basic nature of the soil.
