Abstract: Percentage aluminium saturation as a criterion for liming acid soils in Nigeria was examined. Surface soil (0-15 cm) samples with extreme acidity (3.8-4.9), formed on coastal plain sands (Obio-Akpor and Egor) and sandstone (Nsukka), as part of the soils occurring over the sedimentary rocks in the humid region of southern Nigeria were collected to grow a hybrid maize (DMR White) in pots in green house for six weeks. Four rates ranging from 0 to 3 tons/ha of calcium oxide (CaO) were used as the lime, ranging from 0 to 3 tons/ha for six weeks in greenhouse
