how can a farmer convert acidic soil to neutral soil?

Add a basic thing like slaked lime or chalk'

Add nitrogenous bases like Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH). In this way, the nitrogen in the soil is also retained, and the acid is also neutralised.

And anyway, to Maneesh I would suggest that chalk is a physical rearrangement, or allotrope of the salt Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). So, chalk is not basic!

Excessive use of fertilisers can make the soil too acidic in nature. Therefore, adding slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) or quicklime (calcium oxide) can neutralise the effect of the acids in the soil.

A farmer can convert acidic soil into neutral soil by adding fertiliser rich in base which will neutralise the effect of acid present in the soil

Lime (Calcium Carbonate ) can be added to soil to raise the pH or make the soil neutral.

Well, as we know that acid can only be neutralized by reacting it with a base.
Plants cannot grow well in acidic nature so farmers add some basic substances to neutralize the soil. These can be slaked lime which is calcium hydroxide and quick lime which is calcium oxide.
