Question

Amendment used to reclaim acid soil is

A.

Gypsum

B.

Lime

C.

Pyrite

D.

Sulphur

E.

Answer not known

Correct option is B

It improves nutrient availability and microbial activity. Gypsum is used for sodic soils, not acidic soils.
Hence, lime is the correct amendment. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
