Abstract

By-product lime–from beet sugar refineries–is used frequently in the Central Valley of California, to improve the physical condition of the soil, particularly for seedbed preparation. Lime is commonly applied to acid soils to decrease the acidity but the pH–relative acidity-alkalinity–of most of the Central Valley soils is neutral to slightly alkaline.
