Explanation:
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.

Answer:
in this case the soil is acidic and is not fit for plants to grow so to make it neutral we need to add a base , slaked lime is a base if we add it to soil the acid and base neutralises, so the slaked lime helps the soil to neutralise and make the soil fit for plant growth....
