Abstract
The experimental results described in the two parts of the paper may be summarised thus:Part I. Lime Requirements for Sterilisation Purposes.(1) The capacity to produce partial sterilisation effects is a property belonging to calcium oxide (caustic lime), but not to calcium carbonate (chalk, limestone, marl, etc.).(2) The amount of lime necessary to produce specific effects in different soils has been found to vary greatly and it is not possible to make any general recommendations.Keywords
