LIME POTENTIAL AND SOIL REACTION OF SOILS IN DIFFERENT ELECTROLYTES UNDER DIFFERENT LAND USE SYSTEMSH.V. RUDRAMURTHY, Y.P. SHILPASHREE AND E.T. PUTTAIAHAbstract Soil reaction was acidic in the soils under all the land use ecosystems with exception to the sub soil horizons of soil under mixed forest and solum of the soil under arecanut land use ecosystem, where soil reaction was mildly alkaline and neutral respectively. Both soil reaction and lime potential showed increasing trend with depth in the soils under all the land use ecosystems with exception to that of current fallow land use ecosystem. Strong and positive correlation existed among pH values in different electrolytes and lime potential. Correlation study also indicated that soil properties other than electrical conductivity and organic carbon were significantly correlated with both soil reaction and lime potential either positively or negatively.
