Applying Lime to Raise Soil pH for Crop Production ...
catalog.extension.oregonstate.eduRaising soil pH with lime Soil acidification is reversed by adding a liming material. Liming materials are oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, and silicates of Ca and/or Mg. The anion in liming materials (chemically speaking, a “base”) reacts with soil acidity (H) to neutralize it (Figure 3). The most common liming material, “aglime,” sup-
