Abstract
The introduction of agriculture into australia has caused many of our soils to become more acid faster than they would have otherwise.
In Europe and other parts of the world, soil acidification is accepted as a normal by-product of a successful agricultural system. Lime* is widley used to neutralise the acids added as a result of agricultural practices.
In Western Australia, lime applications will be needed more frequently in the future, although maybe not in the same volumes as in Europe.
