What do you mean by soil treatment
  • 1 answers

Swapnil Mandal 7 years, 5 months ago

The soil may be acidic or basic naturally.The plants do not grow well if the soil at a place is too acidic or too basic.The excessive use of fertilisers in the fields also makes the soil too acidic.When the soil is too acidic,it is treated with bases such as quicklime(calcium oxide)or slaked lime(calcium hydroxide).The bases such as quicklime or slaked lime neutralise the excess acid present in the soil and reduce its acidic nature.Sometimes,however, the soil is too basic,then decaying matter(called manure or compost)is added to it The decaying matters release acids which neutralise the excess bases present in the soil and reduce its basic nature.This is called soil treatment.
