Answer 2

Answer:

if the soil is too acidic (having low ph), then it is treated with materials like quick lime (calcium oxide) or slaked lime(calcium hydroxide) or chalk ( calcium carbonate). all these materials are bases and hence react with the excess acid present in soil and reduce its acidity. thus, a farmer should add lime ( or slaked lime or chalk) in his fields when the soil is too acidic.
