Abstract: Acid soils are prevalent in most of the north-eastern regions of India which are significantly limiting production of major commercially important crops worldwide. Toxic levels of aluminium that are most widespread in acid soils are the major concerns. The production of majority of food crops, and in particular maize crops, is harshly affected under such acidic conditions. Soil acidity is one of the major constraints to agricultural production in large parts around the world. In acid soils, aluminium toxicity and consequent low phosphorous availability impair plant growth. As per the current situation, there is a need to focus on spirited maize supply chain in surplus with focusing on production and productivity of this crop.
