calcareous materials was considered, and it was reported that
calcium sulfate with a high solubility was effective for soils
with a pH of 6 or more, while calcium carbonate with a low
solubility showed less of an effect (Kumamoto Prefectural
Agricultural Research Center 2001). Note that the application of calcium carbonate for acidity correction is often used
if the soil pH is 6 or less.
