Answer 2

Hey frnd..
Here is your answer...

Basically, Base is used to neutralise acidic substances.
According to that lime increases the pH of acidic soil (the lower the pH the more acidic the soil) ; in other words, soil acidity is reduced and alkalinity increased. It provides a source of calcium and magnesium for plants. It permits improved water penetration for acidic soils.
