If the soil would be acidic in nature then a farmer might use calcium oxide because it is basic in nature.
So to make the nature of soil neutral, basic compounds are added into acidic soil

Answer:
Calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate all three are alkaline or basic in nature and these are used by farmers in their fields if they find the soil to be acidic in nature having more of chloride or sulphate ions to neutralize the effect of these ions and to increase the fertility of the soil.
