Abstract

The relationship of some soil properties with lime requirement and pH was studied in the hilly latosols of Tamil Nadu. Exchangeable aluminium was significantly correla- ted with pH but not the hydrogen. Considering the soil properties as an index of lime requirement it was found that the pH and organic matter can be more reliable than the exchangeable aluminium. The reasons for considering the organic matter and pH for assessing the lime requirement in acidic hilly soils are discussed.
