    Solution

    Liming materials used are Calcium limestone, Dolomite, Quicklime, etc. Basic slag can be substituted for lime. Ammonium  sulphate  and  Ammonium  chloride  should  not  be  applied  to  acid  soils  but urea can be applied. Calcium  Ammonium  Nitrate  (CAN)  is a  neutral  fertilizer  therefore, suitable for acidic soils.
