A pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of lime levels as estimated by different methods on soil acidity, exchangeable cations and nutrients availability. The extent of raise in soil pH was in proportion to the quantity of lime added. Lime additions based on IWB method, reduced the extractable acidity to the maximum extent. Lower lime levels maintained more Mg and K on exchange complex and increased the available N and P. Sulphur availability increased with increase in lime levels.
