The effects of the application of pure grade CaF2 and CaCO3 on the concentration of Al and other chemical elements in the percolated solution of acid soil samples, collected over an eight month period, were evaluated in a greenhouse experiment in Piracicaba county, State of São Paulo, Brazil. The pH values increased in the percolated solution of soil samples that received both CaCO3 and CaF2. The CaF2 treatments were more efficient than CaCO3 treatments on the withdrawal of Al from […]

Increase in soil pH by liming has been considered sufficient to assure Mo availability for crops. In soybean, the high response to liming might be related to additional demand of Mo for nitrogenase complex activity, in relation to other non-nitrogen fixing crops. Therefore, this research planned to study lime-Mo interactions for soybeans and sorghum crops, in a Red-Yellow Podzolic soil from the Mococa Experimental Station, Instituto Agronômico, State of São Paulo, Brazil, during the period 1985 to 1989. The treatments […]
