Soil acidification is increasingly hindering
sustainable Agricultural productivity and a major driver of soil degradation.
The effects of soil acidity overlap influence on nutrients availability and
toxicity of harmful elements. Hence, playing key roles in crops yield and
quality. This has become more worrying by the need to increase food production
to meet demands of increasing world population and changing climates. Several
approaches have been adopted to ameliorate these effects, notably mineral lime
has been the predominantly used. This paper employed three key techniques 1)
Systematic literature mapping; 2) Snowballing and 3) Systematic literature
review; to critical review acidic soils ameliorants; past, current and future
direction for sustainable Agricultural productivity.
