Detailed Solution

Quicklime or slaked lime can be used to neutralise the acid present in the soil.
Quicklime and slaked lime are added to acidic soil to neutralise the excess acid. This process is known as the liming of the soil. Lime is alkaline in nature, which neutralises the soil's acidity and makes it more neutral. Agricultural limestone is the most often utilised liming material since it is the most cost-effective and easy-to-manage source. In addition, because limestone is not highly water soluble, it is easier to work with.
