Under what soil condition do you think a farmer would treat the soil of his fields with quick lime (calcium oxide) or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) or chalk ( calclum carbonate)?

Explanation

A soil usually becomes acidic when there is either a high peat content, iron minerals or there is some rotting vegetable. In order to reduce the acidic strength, 'liming of soil' is usually done. For this,any of the substances that have been mentioned, are added to the soil since these are of basic nature.
