Effects of Liming on Acid Ferrasols for Sustainable Crop Production in Uganda – A Review

Ferralsols are the ruling soil type covering about 70% of the total land region of Uganda; they are mostly about the Central and Western domains of the country. Ferralsols are highly endured, acidic and have innately low food reserves. Degradation of these soils has led to weakened land production and output. Despite the increased human culture and the importance of Agriculture to the plurality of the households in Uganda, little or no research has been completed activity on Acid Ferralsols to increase food protection and sustain livelihoods. Besides, the country’s research programs destitute prioritized the use and management of soil productivity administration strategies in the way that liming. Crop yields on these soils are frequently far less than those on research stations. This review paper focuses on the range and effects, causes, challenges and hope guide liming Acid Ferralsols and the belongings on soil properties and crop yield. Many studies have proved that detrimental belongings of acid soils can be ameliorated through make ready to bear, accordingly improving on the physio-synthetic properties to help crop production and yield. More research is expected to develop make ready to bear necessities for acid Ferralsols so as to meet the increasing food demand in Uganda.
