INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study Philippines’ economic status nowadays depends mainly on the production of crops. As we all know, our country has also the advantage when it comes to technology and especially in businesses. Likely in producing products that’s essential to us Filipinos. From this statement, we could conclude the production of materials by factories. Chemicals and other harmful and toxic liquids being used by these factories would greatly affect the soil. Vehicles and other chemical-producing machines penetrate into the soil and also make the soil acidic. One of the reasons of low crop production by farmers is because of high acidity of soil. According to Philippine Agriculture, the crop production decreases by 3.13% in year 2013 to 1.53% in January to March of 2014 chart. To meet the needs of farmers also to some gardeners not just in our nation, but also worldwide, used chalk are utilized as soil neutralizer. Chalk as soil neutralizer is then initiated by the researchers.
