The study was conducted to ascertain the ideal lime rate for the production of potato at Banja and Machakel districts in acid hot spot areas. The experiment comprised twelve levels of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) lime (rate (0 %, 11.1 %, 12.5 %, 14.3 %, 16.7 %, 20 %, 25 %, 33.3 %, 50 %, 75 %, 100 %, 125 %) that were set up using three replications and a randomized complete block design and studied the tuber yield and soil chemical properties (RCBD. The application of lime rates did not significantly affect the tuber yield of Potato. However, the application of 14.3 % lime at Banja gives 6.41 t.ha-1 and 4.51 t.ha-1 tuber yield advantage over the control at year one site one (Y1S1) and year two site two (Y2S2) respectively. Similarly, the application of 20 % lime at Machakel provides 4.04 t.ha-1, 1.13 t.ha-1, and 0.94 t.ha-1 tuber yields than the control treatment at year one site one (Y1S1),...
