Agricultural lime value chain efficiency for reducing soil acidity in Ethiopia [PDF]

Soil Security, 2023
Soil acidity is challenging agricultural production in Ethiopia. Above 43% of the farmland is under soil acidity problem and it leads to low crop yields and production losses. Ag-lime is widely considered as an effective remedy for amending soil acidity.

Soil acidification and salinity: the importance of biochar application to agricultural soils

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Soil acidity is a serious problem in agricultural lands as it directly affects the soil, crop production, and human health. Soil acidification in agricultural lands occurs due to the release of protons (H+) from the transforming reactions of various ...
