Hey mate here is your answer
Proper liming provides a number of benefits:
Plants develop healthier roots because they are exposed to less potentially toxic aluminum. Better root growth may enhance drought tolerance.
Lime is a source of calcium (as well as magnesium, if dolomitic limestone is applied).
Nutrient solubility is improved by a higher pH, so plants have a better nutrient supply. (The optimum pH for most crops is 5.8 to 6.2 when grown on mineral soils in North Carolina.)
Increased soil CEC occurs, as well as reduced leaching of basic cations, particularly potassium.
Nodulation of legumes is enhanced, which improves nitrogen fixation.
Triazine herbicides, such as atrazine and simazine, work better.
Optimal pH allows the breakdown of some herbicides, preventing damage to rotational crops.
Some nematicides work better.
