CaCO3 content if exceeds it limit then it affects the growth of most of the fruit crops specially kagzi lime or lemon etc. what about other fruit crops?

Effect of Soil CACO3 Content on Root Growth and Nutrient Uptake
Developments in Agricultural and Managed Forest Ecology
Volume 24, 1991, Pages 442-445
ABSTRACT
Pot experiments were carried out with wheat, maize, sunflower, and alfalfa plants on soils containing 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 8, 14, 25 per cent CaCO3. The objective was to determine how the 4 test plants respond to the increasing native CaCO3content of the soil.
The increasing CaCO3 content had the greatest effect on the dry weights of wheat and sunflower, which have the smallest average root weight, and increased their root weights. The Ca content of roots rose significantly with the increase of CaCO3 content in wheat, sunflower, maize and alfalfa plants. The K, Fe, Zn and Cu concentration also decreased in wheat and sunflower.

Abstract
In the present study, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was applied to Cd-contaminated soil at rates of 0, 0.5 and 1.0 g kg(-1). The effect of CaCO3 on soil pH, organic matter, available Cd, exchangeable Cd and level of major nutrients in a tobacco field and on accumulation of various elements in tobacco plants was determined. The results showed that CaCO3 application significantly increased the pH level, available P and exchangeable Ca but decreased organic matter, available Cd, exchangeable Cd, available heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) and available K in soil. Additionally, CaCO3 application substantially reduced Cd accumulation in tobacco roots, stems, upper leaves, middle leaves and lower leaves, with maximum decrease of 22.3%, 32.1%, 24.5%, 22.0% and 18.2%, respectively. There were large increase in total Ca and slight increases in total N and K but decrease to varying degrees in total Fe, Cu and Zn due to CaCO3 application. CaCO3 had little effect on total P and Mn levels in tobacco leaves.

Might I suggest that the main effect of increased soil CACO3 Content will be on the pH of the soil. This has a significant effect on the availabilty of many plant nutrients. pH levels below 6.0 reduce make Phosphorus significantly. Below 5.5 Nitrogen is similarly affected.
